Newbie Needs Quick Wheel Help
Ok I have been searching for 2 hours and haven't found a conclusive post about this and have limited time. I found a sale on some XXR 009 17x9's. I am highly considering getting them but I am concerned with fit. The wheels are 17x9 +35 offset all around. I will be running the stock 225/50/17 in front and the 235/50/17 in the rear. Now I found that the front tire will stretch to fit the front rim and I am pretty sure that there should be no issues in the rear (if anyone thinks otherwise please speak now!) Now my concern is with rub issues/clearance issues running the 17x9 up front with the +35 offset. I would love to hear as many oppinions as possible in the next couple of hours as the sale ends today.
Thanks in advance and I apologize if I posted this i the wrong section. I just need a quick answer.

Which wheels do you have? Are they staggered?
Looking at a few pics it looks like the tires wont really looked stretched. The closet I could find was a 215/55/17 on a 9" wheel.
Assuming that you have the 17x7.5 and 17x8 the new wheels will extend outwards 14mm in the front and 11mm in the rear.
Since you are keeping the same tires VDC wont be affected. Spacers wont affect that at all. I would do 15mm spacers front and rear.
