yes. roll your fenders. I have a moderate roll, don't think any pulling was involved and run a pretty non aggressive camber front and rear. I did have to cut my left front fender liner a little, but a little more camber might have solved the rubbing.....or maybe a 245 tire

my setup:
tc105n 17x9+49 255/40 htrzIII all around.

These are WedsSport SA-55M. 8.5 x 18 +50 wrapped in Advan AD08 255/35R18's. Did the fender rolls and have 3.5 camber in front and 3.0 camber in rear. Also running KW V3's.

Has anyone tried a 17x9+49 front with a 17x9+35 rear? Wonder if that would look really strange...

Weird? It would actually look better than my setup. Just not as safe since it would poke 13MM more.

If I got a spacer for the front to match the front spec you listed it would look pretty flush and the rear would just have a concave where the front wouldn't.

So making the setup more of a +44 front and a +35 rear? Where are you getting 13mm...thinking I am missing something here.

I have always wanted a set of these wheels. Picking up a second set of OEM fenders this week to roll, flare, cut, paint etc in hopes of making a +35 an easy fit on the front.

Go here: http://www.1010tires...tCalculator.asp (Now compare 17x8+49 to 17x9+49) You get 13mm poke towards the fender, so more flush.
Roll, cut, etc? At that point might as well go for the 17x9+35 in the front! Concave and aggressive face comes in to play at +35 all around. It looks amazing.

I just like the idea of safe fitment and stock fenders in the front and crazy concave look/fitment look in the rear. Just my preference.

However concave all around is amazing too. If you have the fenders and time/money for it. DO IT.

Gotcha...I knew I was missing the comparison (17x8+49 to the 17x9+49)

I agree with your idea, but yea, since I have a spare set of fenders(not wanting to ruin my stock CR's) might as well go all in and do +35 all around. Maybe sometime in the spring it will all be done...
