work wheels please help
So i really like the new work d9r wheels. I want to get them. The only problem is the offset. 17x7 +52 and 17x8.5 +42 i was scrolling through all kinds of forums to find someone with this setup and cannot find anybody. If i do this i need to go 8mm wider in the front and 23mm wider in the rear. can anyone help or have some insight?

Nothing wrong with that setup. You may not even need to roll your fender unless you lower and even then you would have to be pretty low to need to roll the fronts.
I don't enderstand what you mean by 8mm wider in front and 23mm wider in the rear. What do you mean by that?
Personally if I was going to run these wheels I would get the 17x8.5 +42 for the fronts and the 17x9.5 +38 for the rear. Roll fenders relo tabs run 2 degrees camber front and 3 degrees rear with a 245 front and 255 rear.

My wheels are 17x9 +43 front and 17x10 +35 rear. 245 front and 255 rear tire.
More pictures in my build thread. (Except photobucket sucks). I should stress these took a lot of work to fit and unless you are handy with a fender roller I wouldn't suggest trying.

The specs you posted are definitely doable as they are pretty conservative as I said. The ones I suggested are much more aggressive but I think will look better because of that but they require fender rolling etc.

Not a hard choice. Bronze looks much better on white. Black wheels aren’t great anyway no matter the color body, because the features of the wheel disappear.
