Quoting Blown1:
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

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....

hellaflush or not... H05TYL's car from NZ looks sick with 18x9's and 235 tires... I'm going with the same or 17's of the same width/offset.
