Quick question guys, I totaled my rio about 4 weeks ago and Im about to pick up a GPW with rolled rear fenders. What modifications do I need to do to the front to run 17x9 wheels? and is there anything else i need to do to the rear for 17x9's? and what tire size would allow me to not have to worry about front fender damage? Im currently lowered on eibach prokit and have 17x9 in the rear and 17x7.5 in the front and with one getting damaged in the accident, I figured I'd just do 17x9 all around. Any help, appreciative guys

You can run 17 x 8 in front on a 225 or 215 without an issue with rolled fenders. In the rear you can run -2.0 -2.1 with a 245 series tire on a 17x9 +45. I wish they made the rear a 17x9 +55 lol
I had a 255 star spec in the rear with trimmed fenders and had to run -2.3/-2.4 not to rub

I don't have dz101's, but I'm running -2.5 in the back as well and my 255 rear RE760's have TONS of tread left after ~10k miles including WTD9/track/autox

Has anyone tried to machine some of the offset out of them on a mill before? I can't see it being that difficult or even dangerous to get 10mm or 15mm out of them on a mill with no real issues.
