So I have a friend DETERMINED to get these wheels to work. He has a set of 17x9 +30 all around and says he HAS to made them work. I have been telling him that its probably going to be more headaches than they are worth to get them to fit.

He has a set of 245/40/17 on them right now, what, if anything, needs to be done to fit these on the car.

This is what I was thinking

Fender roll front and rear
the rear bumper relocation bolt thing
camber like a mofo

thanks

 

wont work on the front,..the width is about a half inch too wide for that offset,........pretty sure he'd have to get some aftermarket fenders and pull those, dont think it can work with stock fenders even with everything done for an aggressive setup

 

lol...thats what I have been telling him.

I will tell him to get rear overs and modified font fenders and MAYBE they will work.

This kid is just so stubborn its not even funny. THANKS

 

He can put 215/45/17 in the fronts and they "might" work....but it's still a pretty long shot.

 

isnt that going to be tooooo stretched for a 9in wide??????? i thought the smallest should be at least 235 for a 9in wide....

 

depends on the tire. i.e if he goes with rt615s they wont stretch as much as other tires, but they'll stretch none the less

 

what about a 16x8 +32 all around. he has another set of advans he likes as well

 

Just let him do it. You live and you learn.

 

If he runs -2.5 in the front it should work, so long as he isn't stupid low. I run 9+40 with a wide 255's and have room to spare with only a slight flare. Once you flare the front, there really isn't much for the tires to catch. Our car has great dynamic camber, so you'd be surprised what you can get away with. What kind of wheels?

 

advans...dont remember the model, I will get the models later tongiht...THANKS
