Same specs as the ones on my car now. check my pics (black eclipse)
Im also lowered 1.5 inches w/o any rolling
 
unless there's more than an inch difference, its not close anywhere on mine.

2gb rear knuckles have more clearance than 2ga rear knuckles.
My first post was indirectly stating that everyone that has posted to this thread so far has a 2gb and the OP has a 2ga with different rear knuckles.

I know this is not directly what the OP asked, but it does depict the clearance issues 2ga's have vs 2gbs.

My 2gb can fit 255/40 17 Toyo RA-1's on a 17x9 +38mm offset w/3mm spacers.
Without the spacers the tires do clear, but only have enough clearance to pass a playing card between the tire and knuckle.

2ga's can not fit the same tire wheel combo without a 5mm wheel spacer.
 
Anyone kind enough to help me. Thinking of getting some fancy blingy shoes for my 95 AWD. Rims probably just used for photos or other stuff similar. Would I be able to run a 17 10. Trying to get the offset as close as possible to 0. If not us there any modification or fab that could be done? Thanks I'm not the best at suspension

You will have to run some mad camber to run the desired width and offset.

I believe a 17x10 will work with a +15 offset. That's the size I was considering when I did 17x9 with a +30 offset.
