17x9 questions

[Rx7TyreBurna]

Alright, I am looking to buy some wheels...
I currently have some knock off mustang gt (saleen?) wheels.  I think they're 17x8.  Currently have 245 rubber on them.
I want to stay with a square setup.  Trying to figure out offset and everything is very challenging.

17x9 seems to be what many on here really like.  I originally considered staying 17x8, but who wouldn't mind an extra inch?  lol.

Wheels I'm looking at are Konig Hypergram 17x9.  I see +25 offset and +40 offset.

Looking at fc3s pro:

They say +15 front  (20 max) is the recommended, but would require over fenders.  And, +30 for the back.

So, this makes me think the +25 might work?

Any suggestions?  My goal was a lightweight wheel that looks okay.

Current wheel.

They're insane heavy, bent, not well balanced (guy balancing them was like... wtf, it's soooo bent and weight is uneven all over)

17x9 +25 will be pretty wide up front.   Should fit fine out back if you have rolled fenders, depending on your tire choice.

The +40 might be a better fit up front, but it's been a minute since I sized FC wheel offsets.  What tires are you looking at, size wise?

[Rx7TyreBurna]

I currently have 245/40z17.

I have no requirement around the tires, but 255 would be to be able to run a little more tire.

Would it be better for me to stick to 17x8?
With the offset stuff, it sounds like I'd need different offsets for front and back, right?

I have a hard time imagining the 17x9, because the 17x8 (i think) already seems so big.

Attaching current wheel.
Does this mean it's a 17x10?  Measuring from inside of wheel....

Showing front fender.  The back I'm less worried about.  I actually think my back ones could come out just a little bit.

You likely have 17x9 Cobra knock off wheels. 

[Rx7TyreBurna]

Ahh, that's it.  Not saleen, cobra.  ugh.  lol.

17x9 already, any idea what the offset on these is?  The fit pretty well up front, but the rear I wish would be out just slightly more.

I currently have KYB AGX and Racingbeat springs.  I think the tire is like a few mm away from the spring up front.

So, I was looking at:

Seeing someone running enkei rpf1 17x9+22, and it just barely pokes.  So, if I ran the +25, it should be fine.... right?

[scuter83]

+22 to +25 should work.  Depending on tire size you might need a fender roll and pull and -2deg camber in the front. 

I currently have 17x9 Cobra R knockoffs like you.  I have 255/275 stagger and had to roll/pull front and just roll the rear.  Also have coilovers with -2deg camber in front or so.

[Rx7TyreBurna]

Awesome, thanks!
I decided to just go for and ordered.  I have fortune auto 500 coming that have the adjustable tops, so I should be able to put negative camber in.

my 17x9 cobra r knock offs are okay... but, so bent, insanely heavy and trashed.  Bought them from a guy whose wife didn't like the 'chrome'.  $100 for all 4, and they came with proxie tires?  Something like that.

I like the look of them overall.
