Spacing Question

Ok i just gotta set of 17in" Motegi MR7s and i didnt put them on yet (still winter :() and i also got a set of ground control coilovers. Now for the time being i'll be using my stock shocks and stuts, but i will evenually be gettin AGX's. I was wondering if anyone put a set of 17's on a b14 (mine is a 98 200sx SE) and they cleared all the **** behind the rim/tire. Like it looks like it will, or it wil be DAMN close. I guess thats the shock and spring or whatever on the inside part of the wheel, it just looks like a bigger set of rims would rub agaist it, so i was wondering if someone did it. If it rubs, what should i do...camber? Also when i drop it on the coilovers would it be cool without a camber kit considerin the got the wheels aligned right after i put on the rims/coilovers? Any insite would be helpful, thanks

It depends on what offset you have on your wheels, and how wide they are.
wheels are Kumho 215/45ZR17..and i'm just takin stock wheels off and swaping...

Hmm, 215 may be close in the front to rubbing. Im actually interested in knowing if that size will rub while turning, it shouldnt be problem though. Do you know what your offset is? If its around +40 you should be ok.
i dunno, where do i find that, i'm saying this will be put on stock everthings (cept ground control coilovers, but i dont think that makes a difference...it's a 98 200sx SE
