Default non staggered wheels setup

Hey guys im getting ready to buy wheels for my 00 and i want to run 17x9 non staggered wheels. i dont want to have to deal with rolling or relocating bumper tabs or anything like that. i was wondering if anyone is running 63 offset with like a 10mm spacer upfront? will this work? thanks for you time

I just started running those with no spacer. You get some control arm and spring perch rub at full lock, but I am just trying not to use full lock.

Just a guess, but I think a 5mm spacer would be perfect.

I am running 245/45 in the front and I had to bend the front fender tabs up. I had a major rub there and wore completely through the liner on my first test day, luckily it didn't grab the metal.

if you're going to be running 255's on the front, you'll need to bend in the fender linet tabs (depending on your drop). I grabbed mine and I was running 17x8 +45 in the front. The setup you're looking at is abt 5mm farther out than that.

Rears, it seems like you'll be alright.

Ya ive been trying to research alot of non staggered offsets and it seems like alot of people are doing 54 offset. Ill be running 255/40s all around so i hope like JeremyStone said all ill need is a 5mm spacer.

I would not think a 10mm spacer is going to work with a 9" wide wheel. You would need to do some serious fender work. A lot depends on the tire size you choose as well. I would agree that no matter what you do a fender lip roll is going to be needed.
