Yeah you can fit a 17x8 with a +42 offset. You may have to roller the inner lips on the rear quarters to prevent rubbing.
Anyone on here running 17x8, everyone in the uk either runs 17x7.5 or 18x7.5, but i would like abit more width. Also what ET's?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

oh would prefer not to roll the arches :(
then I'd stick with 7.5. I am on a 17x7.5 +42with some rear camber and the tire is pretty close on a 225. If you ran a 215 and no camber you might be fine on an 8. I'm not sure about inner clearance.
if you ran 215/45/17 you would probly be ok provided you stuck to around a +42 offset. i have 225/45 on 17x8 and dont rub unless i take a very hard corner or have my car packed with people.
It might work without having to roll your fenders, it will depend on the offset. I'm currently running 17x7.5 +40 and dropped on Mugen SS. The wheels almost sits flush with the fender.
Without rolling the fenders it doesn't sound like u will be able to run a wide enough tire to take full advantage of going with the wider rim.
I belive moonsi is running 17x8 Work Misters.
with -10 offset and flares!
chrispychicken is running 17x8 +35, but he rolled the rear fenders.
run 17x7.5 +45 and 235/40/17 tires.
think ill stick with 7.5 wide if thats the case. thanks for the advice guys :)
you never said what you are dropped on?
with the right drop you could run that setup without doing anything. like i said i run 17x8 +42 225/45 and am dropped 2 inches and the rear rubs only when i turn very hard or have my car loaded with people. otherwise none at all.
I don't know about you guys but I am going to be running a staggered set-up, helps the car rotate and I don't have to run as much negative camber in the rear and saves the tires a little, plus I won't have to touch the rears, and if I do, it will be some minor, minor rolling......anyways 17x8 235-40-17's Front and 17x7 215-40-17's REAR or 17x7.5 225-40-17's FRONT and 17x7 205-40-17's REAR I will let you guys know how it turns out in a few weeks after I decide and I put em' on
