Need some advice on wheel fitment
Hey guys. Ive found a wheel I like but its offsets are less than ideal for an S. For the rear I have the option of a 17x9+37. I know this is a pretty aggressive offset, and was wondering if I could get some insight on what all it would take to run this wheel with a 245 tire, lowered about an inch? Would just an aggressive fender roll be enough? Car is a DD and I dont want to be putting a ton of camber in the rear. Thanks for any help.

thats an easy fit! roll relocate the tab, and u can use 245 or 255 tire! U can run alot of camber in the rear and still get even tire wear, i run -3.5 in the rear and i wear out the whole tire instead of getting inside wear. Remember toe kills tires faster than camber.

I just dont want to have to put in crazy suspension setting to get the wheel to "fit". Im perfectly fine having to do a fender roll, but Im not going to hack up my car just to get a put a set of wheels on. I *personally* (no offense to anyone) think adding a ton of camber just looks bad, plus I dont want to run into funny handling issues. Wheels should be an upgrade to both looks and performance, and I dont want to sacrifice either.
