if stock height you will be fine but it will look awkard becuase the backls will stick out

I am going with 18x8 and 18x9.5 with some fender work

The 17x7 should not rub, depending how low you are, same for the 17x8. As for the 17x9(which I highly recommend, you will rub. That can easily be fixed with some fender rolling and the removal of the rear bumper tabs.

I have the 17x8 +47 and 17x9 +44 setup. Have never rubbed in the front, just the rear(before the fender work).

I'm going to keep my car at stock height cuz too many dips & bumps in LA. 17x9 would still needs fender work for the rear even at stock height?

What size tires are you running when describing what will or will not rub?

Your setup looks really clean by the way, I need to get this for my laguna blue s2k.


I want to run this same setup. I was hoping to run at least 225 in the front and 255 or 265 in the rear. This possible?
