What kind of fitment issues are we talking about here if I decide to go with wheels of those sizes?

I have stock shocks & eibachs (although I don't anticipate any vertical spacing issues).

someone PLEASE let me know what you think ASAP. I have to close this deal before the end of the day today.

 

Better roll those fenders up front steve. I had 17x8" +38 SSR integrals w/ both 245/40/17 and 235/45/17, and both snacked on my fender lips. Had Koni/eibach just like you have at the time.

 

Thanks for the heads up Peter. Curious if 225's up front would still chew them up.

Any thoughts there? Im thinking about pulling the trigger on some gold MS-01's so I would like to find a way to make them fit w/o rolling the fenders. (even if that means sticking to the stock tire size)

 

Well, they only catch when you go over a bump with the wheel turned... like in the transition into a gas station or something. If you can ALWAYS remember to slow way down in those situations, you might be able to get away with it... but Eibachs are low in the front so it's tough... and you're making it tougher with low offsets. I think the 225's still stand a good chance of touching. Your results may vary!

 

Sounds like i'll be rolling the fenders - at least up front.

Thanks for the help Peter.

For MS-01's, I suppose I can roll the fenders

 

I have these on my FD, and the fronts are pretty tight. Rolling the fenders would definitely help, although it does fit. I'm running 255/35/17 and 235/45/17 with Tein Flex's..

Thanks Quick - those don't look anything like these.



Do you have a different version of the MS-01?

 

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean the rims haha.. I meant the size and offset.. 17x8/9 +35.. sorry..

 

Well if they fit... i think im gonna have to pull the trigger...
