    17x10 ET 25 - Will they fit?

    As above, about to buy a set of wheels

    Front: 17x8.5 ET 25 (I think!)
    Rear: 17x10 ET 25

    Not sure on tyre sizes but wheels are cheap enough I don't mind splashing out for new rubber
    Any ideas if these will fit? Or if they will require much modification?

    I have 9.5" wheels on the back of mine and they are tight. I would say no. With a 245-35-18 tire I was fine, but with a 255-35-18 tire I rubbed with 9.5" wide wheels

    It is the reason I stopped responding because the fact it is not safe. I realize each person has a right to like what the want, but when safety comes into play I will not condone any tech advice that can and potentially will be harmfull to a person or others on the road.
    Disagree with my advice (or Dearloves advice for that matter which is pretty much the same response) then all you have to do is look at the tire manufacturers specs for that tire and see it is not designed for a rim that wide.

    No further discussion needed here. These wheels and tire combo will NOT fit the car properly. End of discussion.
