Thumbs up Questions about my up coming wheels set up

I'm looking into getting a non staggered set up of SBC Enkei RPF1's 17x9 +45 all the way around. I need fender rolling advice, camber advice, and tire advice. Tire wise I'm looking for a kinda poke out stretched looked. Like on this G35.

Obviously not with the same offset but the tire stretched look. If possible, I would like to do that. Also I was wondering if I could run wider tires on the rear and smaller width tires on the front even though the wheels will all be 17x9.

Thanks!

Ok, any pics you know of? I searched but nothing. Also, is it like a crazy stretch like on that G35 or is it a wild stretch? I'm looking for more mild not super crazy haha

a 235 would barely have any stretch. a 205/40 on my 17x8s barely had any stretch, also depends on the tire manufacturer

not sure what kind of stretch ur thinkin of, but my 215/45 is stretched well on a 8 inch wheel. I had a 235 azenis on a 9 inch and it was really stretched.

These are Dr Jekyll's RPf1's. I'm looking to do the same set up as this with a mild stretch of tires. I'm having trouble with him responding to my pm about his tires sizes. So seeing if anyone else could help.

I have 225 AD07s on a 9 inch and I would say there is not much stretching... although I am guessing AD07s run wide. The G35 has some very very stretched tires

Yes it all depends on the tire. I come from the VW world where a 215 is the norm on a 9 in some cases. Ive seen a 205 stretched onto a 9 on certain brands of tires that are known to be i guess more "meaty"
