federals are wider than most tyres in the same size, from what ive seen, dylan can you confirm that ??
 so a smaller federal will almost be equal to the next size up

as per Chase_d's request, Enkei RP01s - 17 x 9 +38 on an ultra widebody kit:

 

 

 

 
Big thank you to chase_d who has loaned me these wheels so I can run a Wilwood big brake install until my Volks GTS are (hopefully) successfully repaired and arrive back from the wheel shop -
 
Originally fitted rears - Volks GTS 19 x 10.5 -2:

 

 
Cheers chase_d!!

No probs Daz - can see why you like the white. Really looks nice against the red.
 
Just gives some idea how wide this really is - compareitively speaking, these were flush with standard MR2 guards (with the 255 tyres)
 
PS: A set of varrstoen/te37s wheels would look awesome on this!

I can report that:
 
18x10 +49 SSR SP1 = fail. fouls swaybars and the strut by a good 5mm.

Yeah I would've said that +49 is too high an offset for a good fit.
Nice wheels though! :)

I can report that Starcorp Tracer 17 x 8 +35 (front) fits over Wilwood big brake kit running their 324mm rotors and calipers with no problems.
 
However, I can also report that Starcorp Tracer 17 x 9 +45 (rear) does not fit over Wilwood big brake kit running their 324mm rotor with late model stock calipers.  I modifed this with an 8mm spacer but the wheel bolts were too short, and there were still issues with the outer edge of the caliper fouling on the wheel balancing weights.
 
Thankfully, the Enkei RP01s - 17 x 9 +38 fit over the Wilwood rear big brake kit, as shown in pics above.  Great rims.

Enkeis are awesome for brake clearance.
 
I can also report 17x8+30 SSR SP1 do not clear the Skyline 4 pot/LS400 rotor brake upgrade.
