2 questions about rims/tires

[d0sitmatr]

recently I found that one of my rims is warped (maybe more than 1, but one I know of for certain)
anyways, I just picked up a set of Enkei SP02 that are 17x9[!] et38

first question, will these fit at stock height or will I need to roll the fenders ?
2nd, Id like to keep the tires I have now as they are technically new and close to new.
front set (brand new, less than a month old) 215-45-17
rear set 225-45-17 (@ 85%)
now, Im pretty sure they will go on the rims with a little extra work from the installer, but how safe will they actually be ?
or should I just sell them off and get a different set of 17x7 ?

thanks for any help.

well, for the record, 17x9 ET38 rims DO fit on the MP5, even with 245-45-17 tires on them, at stock height, stock suspension.
there would definitely be clearance issues with the fenders though as they stick a good inch beyond the fenderwell.
with a 40 profile tire you could maybe get away without rubbing issues, but if your dropped even a little, chances are you would see some heavy rubbing without a very stiff suspension.

onto some pics.

Those stick out alot lol... Your next step needs to be coilovers and more negative camber lol

yea, they do stick out quite a bit.
Im not going to use them, too much work that Im not prepared to go through to get them on without problems.

Na not alot of work just alot of money haha

probably
if I was to use them, Id get the widebody kit from DGM, and then Id have to get coilover's and run those much stiffer than Id prefer for a daily driver, Id also need to get either 40's or more likely 35's to make sure of no rubbing issues.
I bet they would make awesome trackday rims though.
