Hi all. So I came across a sweet deal on a set of momo 4x114.3, 17x7 wrapped in 215/45's but i'm afraid they will hit my suspention being the offset is +45. Again, my car is a 84 GSL-SE with all factory suspention, any and all input will be greatly appreciated!!!! For the record they came off a 2000 honda accord, and thats a pic of the rim....

 

i'm afraid they will rub the strut tower. stock offset is +40 i'm running 16x7 +40 with 205/50/16 tires and have about a 1/4 inch between tire and strut tower

 

Yea, That's what I'm thinking as well.... Bummer 8-/, I think they would of looked really nice on my fb.
Thanks for the input

 

You could always run a small spacer to get a better offset.

 

I read somewhere a couple of washers on each stud would make the +5 offset diff but I'm worried about how much bite the lug would get on it.... sounded like a good idea but the last thing i want is a rim flying off @ a high speed....

 

u need to cover more surface area than just behind the lugs.

 

meaning the washers will definatly not work??

 

If you ran a 5mm spacer (you can buy them online or I'm sure there's auto parts stores in the states that will stock them) you would still have plenty of stud sticking out for the nuts. Anything more than 8mm is a bit of a worry and you'd need longer studs or bolts.

So just run the spacer and buy the wheels dude. I've used to plenty of small spacers in the past as have many of my friends and nobody has ever had a problem. Make sure you get a hubcentric ring as well if the center hole is larger than your hub (cheap and avaliable online too)

 

thanks for the advice, I'm still debating it...

 

If you have coilovers you might just get away with no spacers on the front, if you're running normal springs you may get away with a 3mm spacer instead of 5mm.
I'd have to say rear won't rub with +45
