depends on the drop bro...

 

Im on coils so let's say abou 1.5 to 2 inch drop. I wanna get rid of my wheel gap. Is
-1.8 be enough?

 

let put it this way my front fender is 24" off the ground and the rear is 25" from the ground and my camber setting is at 1.5 front and 2.25 rear
no rubbing and it looks perfect..i can go lower but it wouldnt be practial from my daily route

 

Your going to want to be in the -2.8/-3+ if you want to drive the car without rubbing. If you want to look at the car in your garage …and for taking pictures, you could get away with less

For reference, I’m on a 2" drop, about 1 finger gap. I run the 8.5 +40 with 225/45 with -2.2 and I am rubbing some with rolled fenders. I am going in for another alignment to adjust camber. Likely -2.5-8 ish. Your 9" +45 stick out a few mm more then mine.

 

Basically i want to do this!! Thanstar sorry if i had to use ur pic but this is the best way i can describe what i want. not as low ofcourse but close to it as possible without bottoming out.

this is my car now



thanks for all the input!!

 

Can someone do me a huge favor? I just bought a new set of brakes and they don't fit under my 17x9 +45 RPF1's. I need someone to measure the brake clearance on their 17x8.5 RPF1's. Just stick a ruler up against the caliper and tell me how far away the spokes are and the offset of your wheels.

TIA

Whatever brakes they are they'll probably clear.

Someone has a 8+45 with stoptechs. Anything under 9" has a convex face, massive bbk room

 

They're hugh jas calipers. I'd need an 1.5" (40mm) spacer with the 17x9's to clear them. I have a feeling that there isn't an extra 1.5" of clearance on the 17x8.5's, but I have my fingers crossed.

Yea maybe someone else has some more info. I think the only think bigger than stoptech is endless. And I would imagine an 8.5 having more clearance than the 8. Especially considering the 8.5 doesn't come in a +45. So if you have the 8.5+40 that's an extra 5mm too. I really don't see why it wouldn't fit

 

Maybe a picture would help.
