So if I went with a 17x7.5 with a +45

225/45r17s

1"~ drop Front and Rear

Would it Rub? Or blend?

doubt youll rub

Thanks. I must be simple or something because I have trouble getting my head around the whole offset thing.

Well, I finally made the decision on tires... Currently running 215/40-17 Star Specs, which are almost done. I was going to get them again but after thinking long and hard as to how I use my car the best tire for my needs are the Hankook Evo V12's in a 215/45-17.

I was only planning on autocrossing 2-3 times this year so it just wasn't worth the price or wear of the StarSpec's.. They are an awesome tire but my needs have changed.

The bonus is that the V12's are $400 shipped plus a $50 rebate. Sweeet deal.

Ordered the V12's from Discounttiredirect.com - These guys always rock.

-Can i fit 17x8 Et44 with 225/45-17 rear and 17x8 ET38 with 225/45-17 at the front with 1.5 degrees of camber front and rear, with little to no lowering(CTR).. without rolling the arches ??

Going from stock struts and springs to coilovers. how much more space does the coilovers give you at the front? 17x7 ET 45 with 225/45-17 is really close to the spring seat on the stock struts, so i dont think i can get 1.5 degress of camber with that offset. Thats why im thinking ET38 at the front..

And 17x7 ET45 with 225/45-17 clears everything at the rear at stock height with stock camber.. so the rear will be okay afaik.

17 x 7.5 et 33 w/ 225/45/17 -.5 camber and a 1.5" drop - more neg camber or rolling of fenders to make this fit? what about et 28?

thanks!

You will want to roll fenders in the rear. What tires do you plan on running? Different tires will be wider or narrower depending on brand and model.

this is for the front only, im debating spacers for my fronts which are 17 x 7.5 et 48 with a 225/45/17 sumitomo htrz III, I believe the section width is 8.9

[SHG_EasyE]

Ohhh yeah dude it will fit just fine on the front. My 17x9's with 235's fit up front with no rubbing issues.

I'm curious if my friends Toyo R888 235-40-17 mounted on 17 X 8 with 38mm offset wheels
will fit without rubbing?

Reason being, he will give them to me when I want to track because they
have Toyo R888's mounted to them.+

You will have to roll the rear but they will fit.

what is the wheel width?

Seeing as how he said they are 235's im guessing they are 8's
