question 1: ive never run wider wheels with higher offsets (without running 25mm spacers). im thinking the rears will clear the coils, but the fronts im pretty sure are going to wind up rubbing the springs. anyone have experience with these sizes/offsets? im currently running Fortune Auto V4 coils that have the eccentric adapters on the top holes of the brackets.
question 2: im not going for the hella flush look, but if i do add spacers, i would like to push the wheels out just a bit so they sit flush with the fenders (not super low). im thinking 15mm bolt on spacers, i want to keep a good amount of tire on these with minimum stretch. any input on good tire sizes to run. i was planning on 225/40R17 upfront and 245/40/R17 out back. my rear fenders are rolled and not pulled. front fenders are untouched.
please no flaming, im new to the proper fitting tire world and i need to get the tires ordered next week as the wheels are showing late next week i believe. any positive input would be appreciated  |
Back in 2006, I had the following on my S13 with nothing more than a roll. The fronts were VERY close to hitting the coil, but they DID clear... you will obviously have an additional 2mm of clearance up front. I did not have the car near as low as I do now though:
18×8.5 +32 245/40
18×10 +44 275/35
