Fitment... Stress...
So here's the deal. I know one of you wheel size gurus out there know exactly what I need to know...
I want a set of 17" Volk te37 on my stock ap1. I will drop it about an inch but nothing crazy - keeping that in mind:
I am trying to figure out exactly what size wheels I need to avoid ANY fender modification at stock height or dropped an inch.
Wider is better and I do want the rear wheels to sit flush instead of sunk in that little bit.
I've really tried to figure out the sizes I need but there's a million suggestions out there.
So pretty much: 17". Flush. No fender mods. Safe with 1" drop.
Thanks so much for any help. And yes, I have read the sticky on tire/wheel sizes, but found that a lot of the wider set ups require fender modification.

It all comes down to the offset of the wheel's and how much camber your willing to run. I'm at +25 in the rear with a 18x10 inch wheel running 245/40/18 and -2.7 camber lowered about 2.25 inches. To me my fenders were pulled massively imo. If you go +45 and run a 35 series tire with a one inch drop I would be very surprised if you rub at all.

Impossible. Especially the rear has a huge inner fender lip and with a drop you simply can't get even close to flush without a roll. I know they used to make a 9.5" +65 for the rear which would work without a roll. With typical 8"/9" wheels you need offsets 55+ (closer to 60 would be better) or roll your fenders and run the common +45 which would be fairly flush.

Okay forget the flush idea... I didn't really mean like h311@flushJdMyo. I meant like the rear wheels aren't recessed into the car. Imagine I added spacers to my stock wheels. That's basically what I want but I absolutely refuse whatsoever to have the fenders or quarter panels modified. The wheels should fit the car, the car shouldn't have to fit the wheels. Stock alignment as well.
That being said what are my options now?
