What kind of susp specs are you running to fit the 17x9.5"? Camber, smaller diameter coilovers, skinny tires?
I've only been looking for 17x9 and haven't seen the 17x9.5 before. I know people with 17x9 +35 will poke without some camber, and they have decent size 255/40 tires, what's needed to fit these? I'd be looking at these as track day wheels with bigger tires on them.
Thanks and free bump =)

Hey!
I had an alignment done so and I could probably get the sheet of paper out of my files tomorrow. The 9 and the 9.5 are going to poke in the front no matter what. In the rear it seemed that the 9.5 was 'sunk'...meaning it wasn't sticking out. I did find out, however, that the +38 offset was causing a little bit of rubbing on the inside but nothing some bracket-bending couldn't fix lol.
I feel like your question is pretty broad so to be blunt: I didn't have to do shit lol. No fender roll, no camber, no crazy stretch. I never had issues rubbing or heard anything funny. I only had these for about a week but I drove from OC to SD and then to-and-from base all week for work. No issues!
-D.
*Side note:
The TE37RTs I have on now are +40. I'm using a 5mm slip-on spacer in the rear to get it away from the inner fender and bracket so it's effectively at +35. With the Enkeis the offset is +38 and I guarantee that a 5mm (bringing it to +33) would solve all of your issues if you used the same tire size I'm using.
*Side-side note:
ANYONE WHO SAYS 5MM SPACERS ARE THE DEVIL IS A TWAT, and they're probably from the East coast and their previous car was a Talon, Saturn, or Cougar.
