17x7 w/ 45 offset on a FC

stock suspension

fit no prob ? or no fit?

thanks

 

noone wants to help ???

 

With 205 wide tires, it's going to pretty close up front.
I would be prepared to get spacers if need be.
With 225 wide tires up front, I put money it's not going to fit.

Its gonna look pretty goofy without spacers. The wheels will be sunken in 5 mm more than stock.

agree with REted here...we need a tire size to tell you..I had 17x7 40 offset with 215/40 and no problem...but you have plenty of room in the back regardles of the tire size for this rim...you will need spacers for a great look in the back

 

well actually I doubt you would be able to tell the difference since the wheel is 1 inch wider than the stock wheel on that car.

5mm is pretty small, but you still added 1 inch to the width, so you are at least 1/2 inch out further than the stock wheel edge.

 

Ahhh...right on. I was thinking about stock TII wheel size at 7" wide.

im running 17 x 8 in the fron and 17 x 9 in the back
with +42 offset front and +48 rear... the rear is cool with 245/40 tires
but the front is rubbing... im runnin 225/45/.... ahh.... i need spacers!!
where where??!?!

 

I believe they are

215/45/17 series

I previously had 215/40/17 on 40 offset, and they fit fine

will the diff offset and the wider tires make it that big of a difference????

:S

 

Does no one search or read other threads in here???

"215" is nominal tire width in millimeters, so it's 215mm.
225 is 225mm, and that's 10mm wider than the 215's.
10mm is like 3/8" wider...almost half an inch wider.
