ok...simple question, the fronts look fine
the rims is 17 x 7 w/ 50mm offset...

but in the rear, problem. there's a 17 x 8 + 45 mm, and a 17 x 9 + 45...i know its bad, but how bad is it? will either of those rears work?

ASMspec

17x8 +45 will work with a 235/40/17 for daily driving commuting. Anything more than that with over a one inch drop you will have rubbing issues. I would go with the 17x9 but I would stick to above +50 on the offset so you can run wider tires.

Good luck.

i'd wanna run the ap2 sized tires on the rims
215/45/17 front, 245/40/17 rear. i know the front will fit w/out any rubbing issues. But what size should i go with for the rear to minimzing the chances of rubbing? the 8 inch or the 9 inch if i were to go w/ these rims...the highest offset they have in the 8 and 9 inch is 45

anything guys?

Jim@tirerack

The best sizes for the wheels you are talking about would actually be 205/50R17 and 225/45R17. These tires are going to keep you in the same diameter as stock with the stagger front and rear.

I would have rubbed with a 245 at a 3 inch drop. Again go with 235/40/17 rears and you will be fine. If you go 245 thats 10mm more width wise so you will rub or come close to it. Thats all dependant on your drop of course .
