Hi guys,

I need help to choose a right size for set of tired for my S on TE37 17x9 +45 offset front and 17x9 +22 offset rear.
I don't mind to do all fender work even need to pull them out but really try to avoid negative camber as I got some advice from the owner of shop where i buy the wheel said that negative camber is not good for the S for daily driving.

What should I do?

Are you trying to avoid any neg camber at all? Even factory alignment has some neg camber.

Are you lowered?

I think even with a fender roll and pull you will need some neg camber to fit those.

Depending on whether your AP1 or AP2 those wheels will extend outwards an extra 35-42mm from stock in the FR and an additional 49-61mm in the rear.

You might wanna look into some over fenders to fit those cleanly even with negative camber.


I see this is your first post. I'd definitely check out the wheel and tire forum, there is a lot of good info in there about wheel fitments.

ohh my bad, I mean I wanna run factory set up on camber!!! Yes I will low it to close the cap! So what size of tired would fit? this is AP1

Even with stretched tires, that wheel size is pretty aggressive for the S. You will be running lots of neg camber with fenders pulled/flared.

Again, personally I would recommend getting over fenders if your heart is set on those wheels/size with stock alignment.

Alright, thanks very much Ryan. How about I change my mind to 17 x 9 +45 all around, would that be work out with the factory alignment with all the fender work?

If you are close to stock height you could probably get away with the stock EURO spec alignment ( -1 Front, -2 Rear Camber).

If your wanting to go lower then you will likely need -2 FR and -3 RR for camber.

Also don't forget to relocate your rear bumper tab in addition to the fender work.

For tire sizes if you want to keep it a squared setup then 245/40 all around is popular with that wheel size.

Ohh that's very helpful!!! I have one more question, will the RR with the -3 camber affect performance of the car?

The first set will not fit without a lot of camber pulling etc. Don't buy those.

17x9 +45 is very doable with a fender roll. I agree with the 245 all around though 255 is possible. You will actually need more camber up front depending on the tire size. -2 if you run a 245 -2.5 to 3 if you run a 255 in front. Rear should not need more than -2.5 with either size as there is more space in the rear of the car than in the front.

Thanks very much Manga_Spawn!!! I definitely go with 255 for RR. But the thing is that for S should do the stagger set up! So with the 17x9 +45 all around, is it possible to do stagger?
