Haven't seen these wheels on car wondering if you guys think it will fit.

I am thinking about getting Drag DR38 17X9 28 offset. I want a squared set up. So I was wondering if 235 tires is just right or can I go with 245. I don't want to have too much camber. I will be getting coilovers too. They also have 17X9 with 17 offset.

I'll leave this to guys with more experience, but based on what that offset is I'd be suprised if others dont agree that you will be needing in excess of -2 to maybe -3.5 camber up front to make things happy and no rub as thats a very aggressive offset in the size. Smaller # 17 you mention, be even worse yet.

They also make them with a +38 offset that will fit perfectly.

Lol nice. I was leaning toward 245 my self. Don't like the stretch look. But would do 235 if needed to make it fit. Thanks for all the help. Anyone else have anything else that would help. Feel free to jump in
