BC Rim fitment question!

Now I've searched a bunch and looked in the fc fitment thread and could not find this particular answer. I need to know if some bbs LM p068 17x8 with a +45 offset would fit up front without spacers with a 215 tire. The rears are 17x9 with a +42 offset and have read that they will fit, if anyone knows if the front will fit without rubbing or anything please let me know!

It should fit no problem at all. I was running volk f zero challenges 18x8/9 +32 +45 225/40 F and 235 R. With no issues at all with tokico blues and a slight drop.

Lol, the fronts won't fit without spacers. That's a shitty offset.

with 25mm spacers you'd have some pretty aggressive fitment. 8F & 9R +25-30ish is perfect if you're new to fitment. it will give you a nice starting point for sure. with a little fine tuning on your wheel/tire size you could have a very nice fitting wheel set-up

Anything over like +38 won't fit up front without scrubbing the strut perch. In the back you have a little bit more room, but not much. You're gonna need at LEAST a 10MM spacer to make those wheels fit. Also, keep in mind that the taller your sidewall, the more flex your tire will have. If you have to much flex, you can still end up scraping your strut perch.
