i am replacing my stock rims and tires with 17 x 7 rims but was wondering what offset would be best 40 or 42. After researching i choose the 215/45/17 tires. i am also going to lower my car with h& r sport spring. Will the tires rub if i choose the offset as 40? Thanks

 

probably.


stock offset is 50something.

 

so the new wheels have to be greater or less than 50 (assuming thats stock)?

 

less

 

if u want them to come out more

 

what size tire would go best with 15 x 7 rims or 15 x 6.5? and also if i get 17 c 7.5 rims would they stick out with an off of 45

 

Whats the drop? I would go with 40 tires. I have a 2 in. drop and I dont rub at all.

 

i am going to use h & R sport springs so its 1.75 font 1.50 rear i was looking at the rota Slipstream and they have an offset of 45? but will these stick out or are they going to be even with the fender?

 

A 40 offset will definately rub 45 should be fine but might rub with a full load. The lower the offset number the farther it sticks out.
