New Wheel/Tire Size thread

to set flush. i dont want to stretch the tires. hopefully they wont be any rubbing issues

18s are really big and if you want to be even close to low you'll need real little tires

you think 215/40 would be straight

[ep3jd]

You'll get a little stretch out of that size, but yeah as long as you don't want to be slammed that's fine

[ep3jd]

But you will rub unless you roll, and probably add 1-2 degrees negative camber

Looking at picking up some spare wheels to take to the track with me and ran across these. 17X8.25 +25 offset. Think they'll fit with 225/45/17 or 235/40/17 tires on them?

no. well, depends on your drop.

17x8 +35 sits almost flush when lowered a little bit (~1")

17x8.25 +25 is going to poke i think...

[MadLorEP3]

Still have not bought my tires...I'm still waiting on a good deal and being lazy

Do you guys think I will have any issues if I run 255/40/17 in the front on 17x9+40 with 5mm spacers. Will this be sticking out too much?
How much will I be able to drop the car with this set up? Im not trying to slam the ride just about 1 1/2" drop
Not yet sure if I should go 225 or 235 on the rears?

A little poke doesn't especially bother me in and of itself, but it might give me clearance issues. I'm not very low at all, but may be changing my ride height when I get the RCA balljoints I have installed.

I'm thinking about getting either 10 mm or 15 mm spacers. My wheels are 17x7.5 et 48 with a 225/45/17. My drop is 1.4". My camber is -.5 front and -1.5 rear. What spacer can I run without having to roll my fenders or run extra camber? I think 10mm?

[powdbyrice]

+10 is safe.

17x8 +35 you have to roll the fenders, so i would assume that 17x7.5 +33 would be safe as well.

Quick question.

Currently I'm running 17x7 et42 with 215/45/17 tires.

Would I need to roll my rear fenders if I want to run -1.25 of camber?

Hey guys need help somewhat urgently. Purchased 16x8 +20 grid offroads with 205 55 16 tires. Got a camber kit for the rear and coils. Looking for about a 2" drop (little more or less is cool too) do I have to roll the fenders? How much camber will I be looking at to tuck. (I don't want to roll fenders because I have not found a competent shop in cleveland that has the tool. Only the ol mallet trick.) Thanks guys let me know what kind of trouble I have got myself into.

They will probably fit without the spacers with -3.5 to -4 camber.

Ive got 17x9 +35 with 245's and its a perfect snug fit with -3.5. But Ive also got the DC5R arms which push me out an extra 15mm

Anyone have pics of a 17x7 +40
and a 17x7.5 +40?
Pretty common sizes, so hopefully someone can post up.
Also mention your tire size!


Thanks!
