gsl-se Wheels

One more question will 17x7 wheels with 215/40 R17 tires rub with racing beat springs installed on a GSL-SE?

Maybe, maybe not. the Offset of the rims will be the factor.

I ran those tires on my 17X7 konigs with +40 offset.
No real rubbing issues even on the autox and road coarse. Only time it rubbed was on hard turns with large bumps.

Depends on the springs...the bottom coil on the tokico's I have rub the sidewalls by about 1/8". Stock sized tires and stock GSL-SE rims.

I've got wheel spacers I need to put on, but I need to put on longer wheel studs first...and that's no fun.
