Quick question about rim/tire fitment
Here is my proposed setup:
17x8 +35 offset with 225/40/17 tires for the front
17x9 +40 offset with 245/35/17 tires for the rear
Will there be any rubbing? I am riding on eibach prokit and KYB AGXs. Can I go for slightly higher profiles without rubbing? I really dont want any rubbing even under extreme cornering conditions. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. So for the fronts I will be close to rubbing the springs? Is 235/40 a good size for the rears? I want a good compromise between more surface area without getting too much understeer with a overly wide tire.

I would think that a 17x8 would need to be much closer to a 25 or 30 ET than a 35ET.
A 35 is only a 1/4 inch less deep than the stock 40, and add an inch onto it (25 or so mm) and I would doubt there is anyway that a 35mm/et would work with a 8 inch wide wheel
