17x10 BBS RS

[slammedsedan]

so i found a really good price on a set of bbs rs. only problem is they're staggered 17x8.5 and 17x10. i know i can fit the 8.5 in the front with little trouble, but im worried about a 10 in the rear. Has anyone ever run 17x10 in the rear? and if so, what kind of fender work did you need? i dont want to be mexi flush but i also dont want to ruin my fenders. does anyone think id be able to run the 10 in the rear with alot of camber and just a fender roll? i know theres probably another thread about this but i couldnt find it.thanks in advance!

If you provide the offset, these guys can probably tell you.

Also the thread you're looking for is stickied at the top of this section.

You'll need +20 offset or lower to clear the strut.

But you can definitely make it work with enough camber and a good enough fender roll / pull

yes we need to know offset.. offset is everything.. allmost pulled the trigger on 18x10.5.. but then i found out the ofset was +45.. lol


but they can work for sure

[slammedsedan]

offset is +25 in the rear, is this doable with stock fenders? if not im thinking id just get smaller barrels and go 9 or 9.5. I know its hard to be wide and flush with stock fenders but im not trying to ruin the resale value of my car haha

[The Wolf]

Definitely not doable with stock fenders. $1200 for wheels with a cracked barrel is a questionable deal haha

depends on your definition of stock fenders I guess. Roll = necessary, Pull = probable. But you won't need flares if that's what you're asking

I say go for it. Everyone who knows the specs of my new wheels for next season thinks I'm crazy, but with enough work anything can fit haha

i dont... -_-

[GWN]

But that's because you're just as crazy as I am lol

Theres alota room out back. Go for it! Worst case, you throw some 5mm spacers on the rear to bring the backs out enough to clear the shocks. Roll yes, pull is only a maybe tho. Depends on how much camber you are comfortable with subjecting your tires to.
