Looking for some rims atm. Found some evo 8 enkei 17x8 +38 with 235/45/17 tyres. From reading on a few forums people say you can run them on stock suspension if the tyres are 215/45/17.
What do I need to do to make the 235/45/17 tyres fit? I really prefer not to roll my guards. Do I only need to get a camber kit?
If I get coilovers (lower the car) will i definitely need to roll my guards?
PepX you should get away with it on stock sussy. Tyres are only 20mm wider as a whole and rims will stick about 15mm ish . If lowered u may need a little camber but stll think u may get away with it. Why not use the 215's you have?
Btw....your speed will also increase as those Tyres are bigger.

On stock sussy, you will scrub the rear going over speedhumps and hard cornering, and it will obviously be worse if you have passengers in the back. Its easier to just roll the rear guards.
And if you're going to lower the car then you will definitely need to roll the guards.
Bit off topic but anyone know what ill get for getting caught 54kmph over on freeway?
I'm in Melbourne.
according to this Vic Roads FinesAndPenaltiesRegisterJune2010.pdf 8 demerit points, fine of $597... not sure if you'll get summond to go to court though, due to the tough "new hoon laws" YAY melbourne soon to get tougher, due to that stupid L plater carrying 9ppl in the car!

I'm currently running a 16x8 +38, 205/50/16... which sat pretty flush with the guards at stock height. Fronts stick out slightly more than the rear. No scrubbing, at stock height. Put in my coilovers recently, still no scrubbing. Not over low though, if I am to go lower... I will need to roll the rears, to keep camber at a respectable level.
With a 235, I'm pretty sure it will scrub on the rear lip, if not rolled. Also inner clearence to the rear swing arm might be an issue. I looked at mine recently and there's no much clearence there.
