it wont be positive feedback, those offsets are too low and you'll rub. Even rolling and flaring the fenders out wont help you.

thanks for the response Vapor. my other question is if you know what kind of modifications the J's Racing S2k has to allow it to run

F 255/40R17 17x9.5 +30
R 255/40R17 17x9.5 +25

thanks again

Crazy camber and the fact that its strictly a race car. Theyve done some modifications to make it fit, just like the GP sport with the 35+ rear offset.

yep, lots of camber and modified fenders. When my friend was in Japan last year, he said they were running the 17x9 CE28ns in 63 offset all around. Are you sure about those above offsets?

it must be a misprint, seen it happen far too many times in magazines. Those offsets are good for a porsche or BMW but the front wheel will be very near the lower control arm and my guess is it would make contact with those offsets. I'm sorry but it just doesn't seem right.

a 17x8.5 with a 47 offset in the front is damn close to the lower control arm. and they're running a 17x9.5 with a 30 offset? That wheel is sticking out the fender bigtime unless it's a widebody or ghetto looking.
