what size tire do you plan on running?

[evilming 6n2]

planning to run 205/40/17 or 215/45/17.i have a pair of 215 when the wheels wil be delivered i will make a test to see how much clearance i have

[8380 Labs]

15s in the front and 20s in the rear would work fine as far as clearances go. do some measuring with the wheels mounted up to see how much room you have to go out.

You could easily go 20/25mm on the spacers. Here is a link to my old 318 on 17x7.5 SSR Type Cs with 215/40/17 Falken RT-615. ET37 on the wheels so I did 15/20 and it really needed 20/25.
