Yes

d6mcs has 17x8 et35 fronts and 17x9 et25 rears, and his is lowered. He says the fronts don't rub at all. The backs will, but how often...?

i am looking @ a set of enkei or volks racing that have both et35 and et42. I love the agrassive look of small et. However, I am just wondering how the ride is going to be like.

I run with a 42et and 205/45/17s, no probs. Not lowered... yet. My winter wheels are the 7-hole stockies. 17s vs. them is night and day (the 15s are more forgiving). If your concerned about ride with lowering and 17s... cornering will be much improved but at the expensive of a stiff setup.
