With 17x9.5 +38, 245/40R17 Rivals, -1.5 degrees of camber in the rear, and the inner lip rolled flat-ish (no pulling) I don't see how I could possibly move the wheel out another 20mm and not make all sorts of contact.
Have not had alignment yet since installing these coils and tires, I'm going this friday for alignment. Shooting for -1.5 camber rear and 2.0+ for front zero toe all around

I also have 17x9.5 +18 rpf1, 245/40 dunlop Z2, cut inner lip and I get a bit of clawing on my tires only on bumpy highway speeds with my racing gear in the trunk

I ran in ASP this year and got 17x10s +18/+38 with 275 hoosiers. with +38 at back there is a chance that the tire and the wheel will slghtly rub the control arm when tripod'ing. got stiffer springs so maybe that wont be an issue but in any case 5-10mm spacers would help back there

So I run the 17x9.5 with 275/40r17 advans +25 offset, front needed a small spacer to clear the spring (tire contact) and my quarters (rear fenders) had to be rolled and pulled with no spacers and that is +25....

I'm thinking maybe the 17x9.5 +38's might be the way to go. Might make the purchase tomorrow
