Tires............
 
Ok I search.............With my current suspension setup(in signature), I just bought some 17"s . Im running 225's all around with my 16's but theyre rub alittle bit in the front. Now what size tires in the front am I going have to run being my drop was 1.5". I know thw 225's will definitely rub. I dont wanna put spacers on in the front if I dont have to. Any suggestions on how wide I can go in the front w/o rubbing or spacers, with a 1.5" drop?

What size are the 17's. Width and offset?

jgrts20 03-25-06 09:18 AM

Why not run a thin spacer just to get the clearance?

How thin are we talking about RETed, what size spacers? Are you talking about running 225's with thin spacers or 215's with thin spacers?

you can also reposition the strut coil spring for more clearance, i should have done a writeup when doing it but some people with aftermarket struts might have been a little freaked out when i had to make a new spring stop by modifying the strut. ;)

i run 235's in the front and could probably run 245's if i had the correct offset.

225's.
The thinnest spacers I know of are 3mm.
That should be more than enough to clear the 225's.
