17x9? I think Only A20_LEE is using those, well, 9.5x17 at the rear and 8.5x17 at the front. I think he's stretched the arches to accomodate them.

 

For what it's worth I'm using 8x17s offset 40 under standard arches and there's no rubbing. 40ish mill drop and 205/40/17 Avon ZZ3s.

Is this query particular to 17x9 or 9 inch wheels in general?

as you know Alex im running 16x9 with 215 stretched to fit.

I had alot of rubbing on the rear arches and the tyres have been getting grated, i got extreme to roll the lip back in may and that has reduced the rubbing but not stopped it.

Also there is a build up of rust because of lip being folded back.

So now im getting the arch pushed out with a tool which rolls back and fourth along the wheel arch (similar to the one in the golf magazine DIY section) and get the remainder of the lip grinded off, then seal the inside with underbody sealer to see off the rust.
