17x9 ET35

I have now rolled and flared the fenders (rears just rolled)
245/45 on the back
235/45 on the front
Have raised the car up until alignment on Saturday so should be getting lowered again then.
It's going to look beefy and I'm hoping I will get some nice gains in grip with the set up.

I will def be following your progress. The wheels I want are 17x9+35 and I want to run 255's all around. Interested to see what you end up having to do. I think if I go this route, downforce fenders will be purchased so I can leave my OEM fenders intact.

A few shots that some of the people at the track took:
17x9+35 all the way around
255/40 RS3
As you can see the front end is a little high. I had to raise it in order to clear the ASM fenders (which are shaved all the way on the inside lip) so they dont hit on full compression when the wheel is turned. If I ran a +30 fender I wouldve been okay or maybe another tire make with stiffer sidewalls like the Star Specs or 245/40
The rears rubbed really bad even with a roll & tab relocation, so I had to really flatten it out again by rolling & I shaved more from the rear bumper.

Can you post some detailed pictures of the rear fenders? My previous car was rolled completely flat, and I trimmed a lot. Just curious to see how far I would need to go.

so does it scrub in its current state?? I am looking to do the same thing with the same wheels. Hoping to not have to buy new front wings. Im hoping I dont have seized bushes (but prob do) and that the results can be sorted using camber and select tyres.
