Would it foul on the strut? Or hang out too far?

The 9.5 will foul on the strut as well as stick out too far.
Starions are a disease, the only cure is poverty.

So, fronts would be fine with the 17x7.5 +10?

What about the rears 17x9.5 +10? Should be fine on the inside and the guard might need rolling??

The need for guard rolling will depend on the chosen tyre size (and brand ;))

7.5 or even 8" +10 will fit fine on the front. Plenty of room on the rears for 9.5's

Ok... the the wheels that I was think of are
Rota P-45F (Front) http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=30
Rota P-45R (Rear) http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=31


Best price so far is
Wheels US$700
Freight US$400!?
Total US$1,100
@ $0.65 crappy exchange that's A$1,700

If the dollar gets better and freight costs can be minimised then it could be a goer.

Yeah the design is very popular.

Koya Driftek - Rears are ok (17x9.5 +18) Fronts are a problem (17x8 +35)
BEE RACING 5R - 5 stud only with wrong offset. 17x9 +25 and about $1950 a set!

And neither are avaliable with a polished lip which looks awesome
