blackout, i remember from the post from a while back that your rears are +15, the other two sizes the 17x9's come in are +35 and 43. just about all the wheels ive seen for cars with stock fenders are positive offset, could it be possible that you are thinking of negative camber?
you're exactly right, they are +15. i am WAY behind when it comes to suspension. i confused the shit out of myself with my offsets because i haven't found a reliable source of information to research. this is what google gave me-

didn't help much at all. another link was where i got the 'negative offsets are typically found on rear wheel drive cars". can someone provide a link or some other such form of research so i can read up on some suspension basics? i've spent the past several years worrying about making power, i never took the time to learn this shit and it's pretty frustrating.
