staggered offset/Rubbing
Hello!
I purchased an s2k a couple weeks ago and the previous owner told me the specs are 17x9.5 +28 Front and 17x9.5 +38 rear, 245/40/17 F+R
Also, the rears dont rub at all as im running a lot of neg camber (dont know the spec, but too much for my liking) and the fenders are rolled. however up front i have 30mm carbon over fenders and they rub on compression and hard cornering.
any suggestions?
Any input would be appreciated. Im new to tuning aggressive wheels/suspension as i had a non-wide/ high offset wheel and suspension setup on my subaru.

Stock offsets are +55F/+65R. Those wheels are
I'd go with option 4: get different wheels and tires. Trying to cram +28F in without rubbing will just ruin your handling, and I'm sure someone out there will be crazy enough to buy them.

in terms of handling? I like the meaty non staggered look but im open to anything. Truth be told i love my xd9s although they are a little agressive for my taste, id really keep them if it wasnt so bad on the tires/wheel bearings/ messing up my carbon fenders.

With the 30mm fenders, 17x9 +35 would be fine but would be slightly hard to fit without rubbing in rear. Remember offset is what causes rubbing and 35 is low for stock quarters. A 17x10 +45 with a 255 is an easier fit than a 17x9 +35 and would be "flush".

A 17x10 +45 would stick out 3mm further than a 17x9 +35, so it would actually be harder to fit.
