I am sure the fronts will fit I am a bit worried about the rears.

The rears are 17x9, I have 2 inch wider fenders. Anyone know if this will work?

Thanks

Thanks, i think the et is 52 or 47.

I have 17x7s with either a 52 or 47 et for the front with stock fenders and the topline front coilovers.

I am going to test fit them today before I order all my new 5x130 disc brakes.
