17x10.5 on ALL 4 corners..anyone plz ?
Looking for anyone running 17x10.5 on all 4 wheels...what brand, style & offset are you using ? I would like to run A.R. Torq Thrust M in that size but not sure how well the fronts will fit ! Will the fronts stick out way past the fender and the rear with like a 38mm backspace ? Any input would be appreciated.

I have 18x10.5s on all four corners and they do not stick out, they fit well and do not rub. For the rear I did have to clearance the inner fender well and I even put on a 1/4" spacer and I had to roll the fender lip as it kept slicing the tires when the suspension would compress in the rear.

In the front, the only mods I made were a couple button head screws to make sure the inner fender is held out securely and never gets grabbed by a tire. It also has an aggressive alignment with 2 degrees of chamber, which makes sure the top of the tire fits in the fender under full compression. You can see it tucked in nicely in the above picture mid turn.
There are very faint witness marks or polished sections on the inner fender. In the rear, 315s and how to fit them has been done to death. The fronts were surprisingly simple.
I should also mention, if you are tracking the car, take the center caps off. I did one track day and lost all the centers in 15 minutes. The heat in the rim relaxes the plastic and they fall out.

That's good to know ZL1LT1, I'm lowered on Strano springs & single adjustable Koni's....I'm also running Baer front brakes w/13 in rotors which are basically c5 vette brakes w/ relocation brackets

17x11 +50 Gran Sport wheels with 315/35/17's. There is definitely more room up front but I use a 1/4" spacer. Rear lip has been rolled, and the adjustable PHB meticulously centered.
