Default help with spacers on my 17inch stockers

Im going to get tein s-techs for a 1.5" drop (and keeping a soft ride since my 250 aint that fast). Im currently running stock 9 spoke 17" wheels with OEM spec Falken tires and KYB Gas-a-just shocks.

I wanted to know whats the widest spacers i can run with this 1.5inch drop without rubbing (considering im going to fender roll duh lol) on my stock 17s so i can achieve a fitted look.

if someone does not have the exact answer atleast someone can tell me the exact offset on the stock 17s and what is the most offset you can run on 1.5inch drop with roll so i can calculate the spacer width in mm.

Thanks!!!

btw its a RWD stock height on pic dont get wrong idea just wanted to show him

I believe you'll need at least 20mm spacers with a drop. that's just my guess. good luck!

I have 17s (not OEMs but close to OEM specs) with 235/45/17.

For flush you will need 20 all around and a roll on all 4 corners (especially the back). This will give you an almost flush look. You can try 25 all around too but i couldnt with my fat(er) tire (235 instead of OEM 225)

I'm 17x8 +38 w/ 235/45/17 all around. Also lowered on s-techs

I *think* you can get away with 25mm all around on the OEM 17s but you will most definitely need a roll and a slight pull, especially in the rear. I'm 20mm back right now and 15mm front. In front i still have about ~5mm to spare

got pics of your ride? wana see someone running 17s but standing wide also wont 38-20=18offset? or it dosent work like that? if it does i can prob get away with 25 in the back and 20 in front and have a fitment almost the same as yours but 2mm+ on offset difference both front and back (+25F,+20R) or maybe even 25mm in front also like u said but idk about turning full lock?. Did you pull your fenders? Im 100% on rolling but dont wanna pull em yet.
