Default Will these wheels fit? 17x8+32 17x9+38

I've been "searching" for a few hours and now I'm more confused than ever.

Basically I have a question about the fitment and modifications necessary to run these wheels (I know they aren't "recommended offsets"):

Work Emotion CR Kai
5x114.3

17x8+32
17x9+38

I am lowered on Espelirs and have no fender mods so far. I'm just wondering what would have to be done to them to make them fit.

Any pics of s2ks with same wheel specs, please post along with any body mods!!


thanks

Roll the fronts and rears and you'll be fine. Those wheels will fit no problem at all.

i have 17x9.5 +38 rears check my flickr

i could have rolled my rear fenders but i decided to cut them and i relocated my rear bumper tab, i doubt youll have to do all that tho..maybe trim the bumper tab a little bit depending on how much camber you are running, any questions feel free to ask

ok cool.

I might just wait and get some with a higher offset. My paint job is pretty shitty and I'm afraid it will start cracking if I go and roll fenders

These are my husband's wheels, I just wanted to see how difficult it would be to steal them from him.... hehe...

I'd hold out for +45 or greater. I don't see the point going to such low offsets, basically they require a fair amount of screwing around to get them to fit, and you end up running much narrower wheels/tires than you could have run with higher offsets.
