Rims and offset fitaments.

Hey guys, searched around a little and could not find anything specific really. I am sort of a newb with offsets on rims so here's my question. Just wondering this for now.

I am looking into getting some new rims, Enkei RPM2's to be specific. 17x9 in rear and 17x8 in front. 265/40R17 in rear and 235/40R17 in front. Offset on the rear's are 40mm and offset in front are 35mm or 45mm depending on choice. Just wondering if that would fit and not rub and if the offsets are right or if spacers would be needed at all? This is on a stock suspension car, or I might get some KYB's and Eibach springs before the rims. Any info would be groovy.

cheers
-Justin

I did not see what kind of suspension you're runnign from your sig. What do you have. You can run those tire sizes on RPM2 if you don't have coilovers up front. otherwise you'll need to use a 225./45/17. I have a set of these wheels on an FC that i'm selling. They are 17 front and 18 rear. Are you interested. Hardly used, car blew it's motor on way back from sevenstock.

Fronts are going to be tight.
Be prepared to dish out for some 5mm spacers.

I think the rears are a little too tight also - I'd rather see at east a +35 on a 9" wide rim in back.

Running stock suspension all around for now. No sorry not interested in buying those rims off you. Cannot afford them at all right now, planning on maybe getting them in winter though but was curious right now as to if it would fit or not.

RETed:
I don't mind getting some 5mm spacers for front, and rear if needed. I don't mind being tight either, as long as they fit with no rubbing.

thanks for info guys. Big help

later
