Here is mine on BC extremes.... 18x8.75 35mm offset. Front can tuck very easily.... It will poke when ran stock but add about 1.5° of camber in the front and you'll be good. Fronts are 225/40 also with no fender mods (no rub) and only running about 1.5-2° of camber in the fronts with stock lcas in the rear Sent from my HTC One |

I was able to get -1.5* of camber on a 1" drop with just camber bolts, rear ended up at -2* with the drop. Seems nice and tucked to me

So, I've almost made up my mind on the 530. If you ask anyone from off-topic I have been debating wheels for a long time, and I think they're just about done with me changing my mind. The only problem is, even if I get these, I don't know what size to get. But, it's really down to a choice between 17x7 and 17x8.25.
Now I searched the whole thread, and maybe I skimmed too much, but I couldn't find anyone running exactly what I would, and whether or not it pokes. Also, no immediate plans to lower the car. So here's my thought process. 17x7 +35 = 215/45/17 tires - Pros: Cheaper (slightly) initial wheel price, cheaper, easy to find tires. Slightly lighter. Cons: Less grip! Stock size = pointless upgrade. 17x8.25 +35 = 235/40/17 tires - Pros: Wider tire, more grip, better looking, justifies the expense of wheels and tires. Cons: Potential poke, wheel/tire costs more, rare tire size limits tire choice, heavier combo. Basically 17x7 is cheap and simple. 17x8.25 is an actual upgrade, but more expensive. (Though still much cheaper than any combination I've come up with to date.)
