Question is, can you fit these without coilovers? If so, what offest would you guys recommend front and rear? I am on Tanabe gf210, which is a 0.75" drop. I would like to avoid fender work as well since the FR-S is my company car and may need to go back to stock someday.
Sorry for the noob question!

why take the 17x9 off? just put on a bigger tire on that wheel. a 225 isn't exactly square or meaty on a 9' wheel.
why staggered? IMO square looks best and also handles best on these cars.
with stock struts you wanna be in the low 40's high-mid 30 offsets.
dont worry about fender work, there isn't much to do anyways, even if you do it they will literally have no idea.
