17x11?
BOSS APPROVED!
50mm offset rims, hammer for the inside part of the wheel wells (behind tires), and APHR for a liittle more clearance/adjustability. It will be very tight in some areas but they fit.
If at stock height, you won'y need the APHR. If lowered, you will. Trimming the bumpstop is optional.
This is a commonly asked question, if you do a search you will come up with all the answers.

Yep, that's my car right there in those pics.

I'll add the "before" pic so you can see what it looks like with the bumpstop installed.
The reason for trimming this thing is that the problem is that when the car is lifted by a conventional lift, the rear wheel will hang up on the bumpstop assembly. With it in place, the only way to lift the car and remove the tires is to lift it by the axle with a floor jack so that the suspension is compressed and the tire therefore clears the bumpstop. Yes, you cut your protection off this way, but the bumpstop, as it is from the factory is ineffective anyhow with those big wheels and tires since the tires are much closer to the inner fender well and will make contact before the stock bumpstop engages the axle. So be careful, don't get your car airborne, and don't carry rear passengers....and watch bumps and dips in the road.
You might want to roll your fender lips, I haven't done that yet, and sometimes the outer edge of the tire hits the fender lip causing some minor cuts, just be careful driving, that's all I can say.
Oh, and once you use the big hammer, get yourself a can of rubberized compound and spray it over the areas you hammered to protect it.
Anymore questions, just ask...I am used to answering all these questions...
