looking for photos of 17x9 +25, 235/45/17

If anyone has a photo of this setup please let me know.

I am very indecisive on which setup to go with on my evo ix.

sweet jesus - exactly what I needed to see. Why couldn't I find pictures with those angles before!

What fender/arch work did you have to do?

What kind of suspension/rubbing issues do you have

It is a very attractive fit!

I didn't get my fenders rolled though, I am running on aragosta coils and so far no rubbing issues except a tiny rub at the rear when going through uneven roads at higher speeds.

I am also running roughly 1 finger gap from fender to tire.

If you get the +25, you should not have an issue at all, since it would sit inside 8mm more. However, I personally feel +17 is perfect for my application

your car is beautiful and your advice is greatly appreciated! I feel much more confident in this decision. I have probably spent 6 months trying to figure this out.

You're welcome. A set of good wheels are going to be considered an investment, so good on you for doing your research before throwing your money in. I'd say you could probably run wider tires if you are on +25. But on my +17, 235 is the widest I could safely run without rubbing.

Certainly like the looks of this setup, but keep in mind this is considered a show set-up (IMO) & not meant for aggressive street or track driving

To make this work properly a rear fender roll, fender pull would be needed for full clearance (the factors that enabled this to work "as is" is the 9" wheel & the 235 tire)

What brand & model of tire is that? I just bought my wheels in 17x9/25 the other day. I still have some time to decide on tires but it's going to be 235/45/17.
