I want to get Work Emotion XD9's and would like to know if I could get a small lip if possible with an aggressive offset.

Was looking at 17 x 7.5 or 8.5 if possible

Work shows 25 32 and 42 for 8.5j and 32 42 ans 50 for 7.5j


what can I safely run to get a small lip rather than having the wheel all the way to the outside rim?



I would prob run 215/45/17 on the 7.5's and maybe 225/40/17 on the 8.5's

Aggressive fitment and not wanting to roll fenders are mutually exclusive.

If you don't want to mod your fenders, I'd stick with the 7.5, ET50, with a 225.

The 8.5 ET42 is the highest offset for the wider wheel, and you're still going to be pretty close to the fender with a 225. How much are you lowered, and on what suspension?

My car (previous model) rubbed with a 215 on a 7.5, then I rolled the fenders and I can clear 245's....
