17x9 +15 offset, will it fit?

I have a buddy that wants to sell me a set of rims that are 17x9 with a +15 offset and I wanted to find out before I buy them if they will fit my ride?

Are you selling them? And if so where are you located?

Not with anything bigger than a 245 size tire.

Just because something will fit doesn't mean it won't rub. That size will rub all around.

I have 17x9 with a +43 offset on there right now and they are the 5zigen fno1r-c wheels with 255 40 size tires on them. My problem is I busted one of the rims beyond repair and I can't find just one more rim to buy cause 5zigen went out of business

^How does that contribute to this thread? a +43 is very different than a +15...

For reference. My 17x9 +28 with 255's fit with rolled fenders
my 18x9 +25 with 265's still rub the corners on the front and rear.

Mods: this should be moved to the will it fit thread.

while I'm here for the OP I'm running 18x9.5 +15 offset (ET) I have the rear tab removed/and lining slightly removed in the rear I'm running about 2.8 degrees camber in the front I removed all the liner and slight fender roll. I still have front corners and I have about 3.0 degrees camber in the front I'm tucking tires all around now mind you I'm on 225/40/18 all around with no rubbing what so ever. so I think you should be okay with the 17x9 +15 235/40 maybe 245/40 should be good.

are you running any suspension mods springs/coilovers/bags?

So don't run anything bigger than 245's and your 17x9 +15 will fit. I'm running 18x9.5 +15 in front on 225's and I'm slammed with no issues. Worst case scenario you way 100 bucks to get your fenders rolled. Which you'll need to do once you drop the car anyway. If your on stock height you can run 275 without issues haha. mexiflush
