yep that's what i'ma gonna do I guess. Anyways, I'm not even sure if the company change his mold for +0 or +12.. so the wheel might have the same concavity anyways.Originally posted by trickey1991 View PostI rock a 17x9.5 +15 on my skyline and i rolled the fenders but not enough to crack the paint or anything.and they are a good fitmentNeed detailing done to your car?

i have 17x9 with a final offset of +13 front and rear, with 265/40/17 tires
the wheel width isnt all important for fitment,
whats important is tire width and final offset
its a perfectyl tight fit in the rear with rolled fenders
but in the front, the fenders arent rolled yet, and it rubs, alot, i stopped counting after 1000 during this weekend's roadtrip

thanks frank, I'm scared to roll... you know how I care about my paint.. I would kill if something goes wrong.
The company told me there's no difference between +0, +12 . it's jsut the backpad that change, what make one model more concave than the other is the width of the rims. so 17x9.5 +12 would be more concave than 17x9 +12. So either I go 17x9.5 +12 or 17x9.5 +22.Need detailing done to your car? I'm open to travel to detail your car :

man the offset will change how far the wheel sticks out..the closer the number to 0 the more it sticks out from the "fenders" I run 17x9.5 +15 with a roll on the rear and 215-45-17 tires
like frank said, the offset matters and the tires not the width, the width only matters for the inner clearence of your struts etc...
For the roll, buy a fender roller ($200) and a heat gun ($30) and heat the fenders warmly and start to roll slowly not aggresively. and you should be fine...we did my skyline before we painted it, and the paint peeled a tiny bit from the inside of the fender lip wheere it was being rolled up..but nowhere else..so it didnt matter
