Arrow offset downfalls?

just picked up some blitz type 01 rims today. I'm running a...

17x7.5 51 front
17x9.0 45 rears

I bought these used so I couldn't be picky about the offsets. but I was wondering are there any downfalls with having a higher offset front than the rear?

Those should work with 245's in the back, suggest you read the fitment sticky at the top of this forum.

you can run a 245 but you have to run mad negative camber

you can run a 245 and roll your fender and run slight negative camber

you can run a 235 and and be on stock fender/stock alignment.

you can run a 225 up front, but run negative camber and not rub.

you can run a 215 up front and be perfect. No rubbing.

also, running a higher offset up front doesn't do anything to the car. Its actaully a Plus beacuse with higher offsets you can run wider rubber's

You guys that say this is perfect fitment crack me up. He'll need a fender roll, tons of negative camber and a small tire... yep that's perfect.

well hmm.. yeah.. ummm... according to the ..ummm wheel fitment guide that the smartest people in the um world put together that well.. says that these are .... not going to fit. ZOMG what are we going to do????

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

this fitment is about the sexiest wheel setup u could get the rears will actually fill the fenders rather than being sunk in 3" like stock.

dude, dont worry about what these guys say... u got the best of the best and the lower u go the better theyll fit.
