I have SSR GT1 18's - (18x8 +48 Front, 18x9 +55 rear)


They are about as far as you would want to go, I like the way they look but some say they are a bit much.


They dont rub but are a fair bit heavier and you can feel that on the road a little.

Is 17 x 7.5 +45 and 17 x 8.0 + 50 an aggressive set up...???
Not aggressive, but bordering towards the limits of sensible

I just installed 17x8.5et42 on the back, with 245/40/17 on them and they rub on big suspension compression (speedbumps at too high a speed etc)

So I need a little more camber in the back (if it's not just off, as it only seems to be on the left side)

anyway: that's basically too much for you.

Tyre size is more important than wheel size! together with offset it'll be the biggest factor.

+45 Front and +48 Rear here.

I wouldn't go any lower IMO. If I did I would be looking at tyre sizes to compensate.
