I took a look at the known combination page and for 17x9 wheels the recommendations are a 245(w/45series tires)-255(w/40series tires)and offsets between 25-30.So my questions,is this the highest offset you can run with a 9" wide wheel with or without spacers? The reason I am asking is that I can get some really good deals on some wheels and I like the look of having wide wheels and tires on a VR4.If anyone here is running a 17x9 wheel please post pic and info such as 17x9+35 255-45-17 does not rub had to trim control arm etc and again 17x9 and yes I know about evo wheels etc etc but 17x9's is what I am interested in.. Thanks D
The One Lap VR4 runs 17x9 Mustang Cobra wheels which have a ~6" backspacing. I run a 255/40-17's and they don't hit the rear trailing arm but they will rub the inner fender at full lock. They won't work with stock front struts, coil overs are a must. You can check out the website or just google us for pictures.

No specific info but... A nine is going to poke, there is just not going to be enough room under there to tuck that width. And the tire size for a 245 should be a 40 series to stay at all close to original diameter.
9" width +30ish will fit under the guards with a slight pull and a sensible amount of camber.

If only running a 235 or 245 why complicate things by attempting to run a 9" wheel? An 8" would be sufficient and with much less hassle.
Not trying to lol just got a really good deal on some 17x9 from the sema show as I stated before and yes I know an 8" wheel would be better but the wheels are only available in a 17x9 not 17x8. If its going to be too much hassle I may just use the 17x7 I have but i think a 17x7 looks like ass on a VR4 they are too narrow just my opinion....
