need you input on Gramlight 57S

I have decide on a set of Gramlight 57s
17x9.5 I want to use Advan A032 275/40/17 tires

Which offset should I get for the FRONT and REAR
I did some search on it and seems there are two options ava.

+22 or +38

Do you suggest
+22 Front
+38 w/ 3mm spacer for the REAR

or +38 All the way arround with Spacers

does +22 looks different than the +38 ?
Do I need a lot of Fender rolling?

all your feedbacks are needs

tks !

I thought people need 30 or more to run big tyres and clear the fenders....I would think 22 would be problematic.

take a picture from the side, your tire and wheel are sticking out of the wheel well.

30 offset is the lowest offset you really should be running on the stock fenders if you plan on actually driving the car.

My car is using the RRE JIC's, and the fenders are both rolled and pulled out a bit, and on a 17 x 8.5 Volk wheel on 255/40/17's, +30 offset, the tire and wheel BARELY clear.

The only way you are getting away with it now is b/c youre car is still at stock hieght.

well i can't attest to how well that setup performs, but physically, its much easier to fit bigger wheels into the front fenders than the rear, esp since its better to set up the suspension with negative camber up front

i could of went with +35 in the rear also,but the face design won't match.this is the #2 face gramlight offers.look at the other 57S,and look at mine again.my spokes sink in,and the other face(#1) is flat looking.i like how these look over the other one's
