Help with wheels <-------------------
I wanted to purchase some br 3pcs racing wheels but was wondering if I can fit these and what tires I should run on them to make them fit my ap1. I'm on hsd coilOvers, rolled rear fenders with a slight flare, bumper tabs relocated, carbon fiber Siebon 10mm wider fenders. Please help guys, I really like the wheels but don't wont to be stuck with them if they don't fit. Thanks!!!

Get some rear overfenders and should work. 17x9+44 is pretty flush so those will stick out almost another inch.
I'm guessing your going for the hella flush look?

+24 is not an offset that's going to work well, and skinny-ass wheels/tires with overfenders will look like a bad joke.
Find wheels that fit. Preferably +45 offset, +35 minimum.
If you want extreme hellaflush, you can have the exact same "poke" with a LOT more wheel and tire width with more reasonable offsets.

Thanks for the replys guys. The wheels are 17x7 17x8.
The put the wheels on the front and it looks pretty flush with the site on fenders so I should be fine with a 215/40. The rears stick out like 1" 1/4 so a friend of mine last night flared the rears using and Eastwood roller. Not the best looking flare but got it to only stick out like 1/2". While flaring the rear quarter caved in but stuck a bunch of shop towels through the trunk to gain acces to the fenders and it worked lol pull led the dent right out. I would definetly recomend stuffing shop towels in the rear fenders if someone were to pull or flare the rear fenders as it would definetly help preventing quarters caving in. I'm planning to get over fenders to hide the not so great results on the flaring done by me lol
The question I ask is if I were to run a 245-40/17 rear tire on a 8" wide rim, would the tire be flush with the 8" wheel or would it stick out past the wheel, or would it stretch some. I really think I can pull it off with 235-40-17 rear tire but I want to be able run a 245-40-17 with some camber added to it. Anymore help would be great!
