Default 17x6 weld rts

Looking to get a 17x6 weld rts for the front of the bird. The question is should I get a 3" bs and medium pad. The brakes are stock. I like the tucked look. Just not sure how tucked that setup would look like. Hate to get a wheel then it end up sticking out past the fender well.

I think I'm gonna go with a 4.3 bs not sure what pad to go with though. Would a low pad make it to close to the calipers

Do it! Then post pics lol I'm looking for some 17" RTS in black myself. I have the 15x6 right now and really want a bigger wheel up front because it looks so damn good.

15x6+3.5 with a 205/60/15 radial TA. I didn't have to grind my calipers or anything either they fit fine. I just wish I had gone with the 17".

I think to make the 17x6 setup in the stock location it would be 3.3 bs. I'm trying to make it tuck in a little. My rear welds are already tucked in. They are 15x10 with a 6.5 bs but my rear is a 9" narrowed 2" on each side. I'm thinking 17x6 with a medium pad to clear the brakes.
