Default 17x8/9, will they fit?

Im looking at a set of Racing Dynamics wheels, but i want opinions on fitment. Seller says they are 17x8 ET46, 17x9(similar offset). Unfortunately i dont know the exact offset on the rear. Does it sound like these should fit? What size tires should i run? And will i need to roll fenders?

Thanks!!

I had 18 x 10 with a 45 offset plus a 5mm spacer in the rear. You should be fine. Especially with the offset of the wheel. Et 46 offset right?

I thought 18X8.5 (225) is the maximum size we can go on Ti (rear)?
now I might change to 235-245 rear to stop my tail slip.

I should of rolled the fender a little, but I didn't. Believe me when I say I was pushing it. It all about measuring. You have to realize that an 8 inch rim is actually 9 inches wide. The width is measured from the inside of the rim, wall to wall. My freind had some ADR wheels that were 9 inches wide in the rear and he had absolutely not problems. I was going through tires like crazy do to camber getting worse with the wider wheel. I had 245 in the rear, but the were stretching. Looked crazy but not cost effective... Oh, the things you do for beauty. I loved it. Ask any of the So Cal guys, they'll tell you.

Hello. I use this site if I want to know if my rims will fit.

http://tirefactory.com/virtualwheels.cfm

That is a virtual simulator for rims and tires. I just don't know if your model is in their database.
