Default Work VS-XX

Hey guys.. found a set of Work VS-XX wheels. The size is 5Hx114.3 @ 17x7.5 +41 17x8 +41. Will these fit my stock '03 without rolling or shaving fenders? Also, since the rears are 17x8, which is .5 larger than the front, should i run bigger tires for the rear? I know the rear should be atleast 1 inch wider. Thanks -david

without rolling or shaving the fenders, will it fit? NO it willNOT fit.......yes when you have a staggered rim you should stagger the tires .......

If you ran 215 front 225 rear with rolled fenders and lots of negative camber this MIGHT work!

Well, I used to have a set of Pro N1's and they were 17x7.5 +45mm and 17x8 +38mm.....they fit like a charm without fender rolling not to mention I was dropped like 1.5inches. I was running 225/40/17 F and 235/40/17 in the rears. You have to think of it this way: Every 0.5 you increase in width you have to have approximately +10mm in offset so that you don't have to roll the fenders. For example most people get around a +50ish offset for the rear when the width is 8.5...for 9inch rears you'll need approximately a +60mm. Therefore, if you run a 8 in the rear +41 should be ok as long as you don't get the wrong profile tire. Oh but I'm not too sure about the +41 in the front....
Here's a pic of my old setup
