[QUOTE=IIGQ4U,Nov 6 2007, 12:44 AM] It only takes one mistake.

I just got my 8"/9" +45 combo on last week. Honestly, I think it looks perfect and wouldn't want a more conservative fitment. I'm running 215/45, 245/40 and it did rub slightly in the rear during hard cornering although I am lowered on Espelir springs. I just bought the S a couple weeks ago and I don't know what the alignment settings are. A slight roll in the rear took care of the rubbing problem and I did the front too just to be safe.

I know this is a popular wheel and for good reason. It has classic good looks and you can't beat the weight per dollar ratio. Here are few pics:

You guys could also run the 7.5 +48 in the front to eliminate rubbing......

what tires are you running... you think if i run this offset with Azenis(since they have a wider contact path) that i will have any problems? i plan on being extremely low but i'm going to dial in the camber...

Falken doesn't make a 245/40 for the rear so you would need to run a 235/40/17 with around three degrees -camber. This is of course if you are not intending to roll your fenders are intending to slam your car.

For those who have gone with this combo, how big of an impact does the +45 offset have on steering due to the change in scrub radius?
