I used to have 205/40-17 on 17X7 rims 35 mm offset. No rubbing on the struts in back, but the gap couldn't have been but 2 mm. 35 offset is the largest I'd use.zexynx said:if i use a 205 tire,what offset is needed for good fitment,any pros and cons for that size wheel?thanks,and yes i searched but couldn't find specifics.
Denske.
Weird...I tried 17x7 with 40 offset and they rubbed on the rear strut (I also have the AGX's). Hmmmmmmmmm....cruceno21 said:I have 205 on my 17 inch rims and I have a 42mm offset. no spacers, no nothing. and my car is dropped a few inches. the ride is bumpy for sure with the lowpro tires. check out my site for how the rims fit. there is a picture on there of the rims on before doing the suspension.
damn....our potholes are famous now!!! they are pretty damn bad here...and the potholes gotta be worse than the ones in Tallahassee, FL. YMMV....
Fortunately, it seems like Galveston hit the lottery and started fixing streets like crazy.LONEWOLF said:nyc potholes are king . i was looking to get 17 but 16's may be my number. if you guys are looking into puttting tires on your car look into putting in a coilover suspension. because with the rear your tire will rub the strut.
Your inside rear stays on the ground during hard cornering??? :tongue:txnx said:I only rub during hard cornering on the apex side of the car.
I just ordered D2's and we will see what happens with clearance and rub in 4-6 weeks.aknapp said:Your inside rear stays on the ground during hard cornering??? :tongue:
