you are going to need some MAJOR fender work to fit 275's with that offset

and you are definitely going to be hitting your fender liner when you turn

What tires?

Some run smaller than others, for instance a Nitto 275 is not any wider than a StarSec 255.

As a comparison I run a 17x9 +29 w/the mentioned Nitto NT05 275/40's

Im rolled/pulled/bumper bolted w/the rear splash guards removed

You are 4mm (.15") further outboard. My fenders are not even flattened out so you could do it w/some work

Yeah I looked at ur car when I was lookin this up by my cal. It should work front might rub a bit cuz I'm low but I can put it to -2.5 or -3 witch will make the front grip more anyways



How dose it ride have a lot of play in the sidewall?

NT05 side walls are very stiff IMO. I can shake the car laterally w/no or very little side wall flex

Ive had some liner rub but does not affect me on the track.
