So , are you looking for a plug-n-play fitment, or modified fitment..?

The widest wheel I'd run with no/to only minimal fitment issues is a 10.5" with a +44mm to +50mm offset. For tires you'll want a 295mm-315mm width.

Ive been looking at some weld rt-s 17s. I really don't want to modify anything to get them to work.

This is what I'd go with, with a adjustable PHB to center the rear-end.

17" x 10.5", with a +44mm offset, use a 315/35/17 tire

17" x 9.5", with +39mm offset, or +44mm offset if you want it to sit about 3/16" more .

Well, for some reason the link to the photo shows up in my email alert, but not here when directly here on LS1tech. That's why I sent you the pm..
