Red face Offset Help: How will 17x9.5" +40 All Around Fit?

Hello,

I can't seem to find examples of how a 17x9.5" +40 wheel will fit. I'm thinking of ordering the SSR Type F and going for this look:




I am currently running Enkei RPF1s in 17x9 +45 sizing with BS RE01Rs 245/40/17s at all four corners with my fenders rolled/pulled/flared.

Does anyone know how much more the 17x9.5 +40 wheels will stick out than my current setup?

Thanks in advance.

it should stick out about half an inch more. depending on how much you have the fronts flared you should be able to run 245's.

It will stick out a decent amount.

Unless you are going to a wider fender setup.

Its about equiv. to a 18x8.5 +35 or so.

Similar. It sticks about 1/2 in front and about 1 inch in back.

Im running 18x8 up front, but 18x9.5 in the rear with 265's. My offset is +45 I think. They dont stick out at all.

Thumbs up

Thanks for the input everyone.

Inspiration on wheel specs:



I was thinking of going with BS RE01Rs 255/40/17s all around. What tires do you guys recommend for these wheels?

Yup. I'll be selling them with tires as soon as I get the new wheels in the mail.
