Man I can't make up my mind but I think I'm pretty firm on this. I'm gonna go 16's and get the xxr002. If I ran a +20 offset, what do you think?
I'm assuming you're looking into getting the 16 x8?
Depending on how low you go and what size tyre you plan on running will determine how much work is needed. Definitely a roll all round and rear camber arms are needed. Fronts would benefit from camber tops or camber bolts. I prefer to run 50 profile tyres as opposed to 45`s i fine 45 profile tyres are too small and make the tyre to guard gap larger. They only really look good if you're stupidly low.
Read through this thread: http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthr...619#post977619 if you haven't already, a few ppl in there are running similar wheels from memory. There currently is someone asking about the same setup as you.
Hey rps, I've got my eyes on a set of wheels and they are 17 x 8, +30 offset with 225/45/17. I've just lowered my car on coils and want a pretty flush look
My rear guards are rolled already. Below is a pic of how the car sits. Will I have any issues? Will I have to raise the car?
I also have a set of 205/45/17 I could put on the wheels if needed.
17x8 +30 will sit flush to slight poke, depending on your final height and camber. You should be fine running the 225`s. I'd look into getting rear camber arms to correct your negative camber. Fronts you most likely will need a roll, and maybe trim the splash guards.
Only pics i have for reference:
17x8.5 +31, unsure of tyre size and camber. Your potential set up will sit in/retract 5mm compared to above.
17x8 +38, 245/40, i was at approximately -1.0 camber. Your set up will sit out a further 8mm compared to the enkei`s.
Rears i don't have any good pics at similar height, for reference.
Here's a pic from ephatch.com
17x8 +38 with 235/45/17. Mild drop with ~1.1 degree camber. Your set up will sit out a further 8mm, running the 225`s you may need to dial in -1.5 maybe more to tuck the tyre in.
yea, i thought so to, cant seem to find people selling a pair in 215,45s some guy offered 215/40 for 120 for the pair. he also has 225s for sale for 200
