Just asking, I am thinking about running 17x7 +35 on my BB6, but from some guidelines i was reading
"7" Wide Wheels w/ 4th & 5th Gen
Less than +38mm ::: Not Recommended
+38mm to +41mm ::: Not Recommended if you are, or plan to be, lowered. You take the chance of rubbing the outside lip of the wheel well.
+42mm to +44mm ::: This is a grey area if you are lowered, results vary depending on tire and/or drop. You take the chance of rubbing the outside lip of the wheel well.
+45mm to +50mm ::: You shouldn't have any problems. Recommended Offsets for 7" Wide Wheels.
Larger than +51mm ::: Not Recommend. You take the chance of rubbing the inside lining of the wheel well.
"
I'm not sure on my drop atm, just on pedder springs, probably about 1.75" - 2" drop, I have about 1.5 finger gap at the front and 2.5 finger gap at the rear on 205/50/16 tyres. The new tyres will be 215/45/17.
So basically i want to know, has anyone had these offset running on their lude? or if they know i will need a camber kit or not? Or if i just will need to roll the guards, or if they will sit fine. Thanks
