So, just pushed forward with getting ARP extended wheel studs on the front. Figure its cheap insurance for less than $70, give me peace of mind.

 

I see he went with 18x8.5 +35 so im going to assume a 17x9+25 would fit.

was wondering if the orignal poster can take some side angled shots like to see if they concave or what they do at a 8.5 wide wheel

 

not sure if photos help, but here you go.

 

 

Pictures are hard to make out, but in person they are relatively flush. Now that I've got ARP extended studs up front, I suppose I could go up from the 5mm spacer to push the wheel out more. I'm still on the stock rear studs, so maybe in the future I'll replace those as well and go 10mm spacers all around. As is, I'm happy. I just wanted lighter wheels that I liked visually for under $1K, these wheels definitely accomplished that. If you want a more aggressive stance, the specs I got are probably not the way to go.

 

Are you positive a 18x9.5 +35 with 265/35s will need a spacer to clear the suspension?

 

I'm running 18x9.5 +25 with 255/35 tires. Clears suspension but does have slight poke. -1 camber on all corners.

 

Looks awesome man! Did you have to roll the rears any? Think 265s would be hard to clear?

 

I'm not slammed so i get away without a roll but it sometimes rubs on the left rear depending on the road. With that being said i might do a slight roll but nothing crazy a 265 tire depending on the tire probably will need a roll im going to guess because it pokes on my car so you wouldn't have any stretch in the tire.
