17X9" wheels to wide?

[jabartram]

Eagle 168's (http://www.leontire.com/webpages/page1/page1frameset.htm)I have found a set of wheels, 17X9 will they fit? is anybody running that wide, I'm only realy afraid of them sticking out past the front fenders? I'm hoping for the fronts and rears to be even with the edge of the fenders? the tires 235 45 17? I'm ready to buy but I can't decide!!!!!????? I put a link for anyone to see if the numbers look correct? thanks for any help!

9" is too wide, 8" is as wide as will fit

you might be able to squeeze in some 17x9's if they have the right offset. I wouldn't risk it though

wow, No they wont fit!!

i had 18x8.5" and i was MM's away from my wheel whell turning and strut, so id vote no

Get 077 17's if you want more miles out of them or 18's if you want less. Either way you'll love them I know i do and so does Big Poppa Naich.

thats not completely true. my wheels are 8 1/2 inches, and they have been fine, street, auto-x, and road course.
