I'm trying to decide between some wheels that are 17x7.5 with a 45 offset, or some 17x8 with a 46 offset. for tires, probably 225/45/17 but I'm kinda curious if 235/40/17 tires would fit.
my question is, what size wheels, tires, and offsets are you guys running and do you have any issues with rubbing? and would you say you have a lot of clearance or very little in terms of being able to fit something bigger? also mention if you're lowered or not. -------------------- ![]() 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

17x8 with a 35 offset, lowered considerably and I only SLIGHTLY rub the inside plastic of the fender. But that's also probably due to it not being completely secured. That wheel size/offset gives our cars an AWESOME stance.
235/40/17 are the tires |

That wheel size/offset gives our cars an AWESOME stance. 235/40/17 are the tires so, if I did 235/40/17 tires on a 17x8 with a 46 offset I'd probably rub unless I got a 10 or 15mm spacer to make the offset 36-31? the wheel offset guide says that we need a 40mm offset for 8.0" wide rim on a lowered car. you don't have any issues with the rims sticking out too far and hitting the outter side of the fender, do you? -------------------- ![]() 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
