Default Another "Will this fit" thread

Hi guys,

Looking at some SE37K wheels.
Will 17x8.5 +40 and 17x9 +45 fit?

Wanting to run 225/45/17 and 245/45/17.

Will be doing a guard roll and tab relocation, but I'm a bit concerned with the front fitment.

Thanks!

It may need some work for the front and the rear. I think you can make it fit though. If I can help with the tires let me know.

its recommended you run 40 height on the rears, 45 is too tall and will affect performance.
17x9+45 has been asked multiple times in the enkei thread as it is a popular choice to run these non-staggered.
Rear should fit 255/40/17 with a roll, tab relocation and a bit of camber. Front should fit without much trouble but a roll will be needed with a bit of camber with a 225

Thanks for the recommendations.

Yes it was a typo, the rears should've been the 40 profile.

What about a square setup consisting of below:
17x8.5J ET35 235/45/r17

Is that a bit too much? I want it to perform well on the track etc.
How much difference does running square make it?

You can make all of your listed offsets work with reasonable tire sizes with a roll, tab relocation and some camber. I like to trim the top outside 3" of the front fender liner plastic off too. How much camber depends on how low you go.

The front track width is going to be wider then the rear just fyi. If it were me I'd want to stick close to even... or go wider in the rear. I know its hard to find the exact wheel specs you want but I went with your front but 9.5 +38 in the rear. Best to go with f235/40-r255/40 ...or 245/255 combo. Your going to need -3 camber front and rear.
