It'll work...but why?

It'd be a better setup to just do 9 +45 x4. Roughly same overall offset, and they're not convex.

What do you guys think about this set up?

17x8.5 +30 all around with 245/45-17. I'm currently on oem suspension and specs.
why not just go x9 all around? and WHY do 245/45? stupid imo you should be doing a 245/40

How different is the steering feel with that much rubber up front? Looks boss.

Why? Cause I can get them for DIRT cheap. So good that's pretty hard to pass up. Just wondering if it's worth it or not and looking for feedback, that's all. Kthx.

STAIN - I don't remember. Going in Saturday to put it on the alignment rack. I think it was around 3.

Mark355 - It feels great. I've been driving it easy though since the rear is still rubbing on big bumps where the bumper and quarter meet. Gotta fix that. The fenders were flared out and shaped by hand.

Better shot of the fenders:
