Help! I'm looking to get a 17x8 and a 17x9 wheel. What size tires for a semi stretched look, and what offset should I be looking for?

Im lowered on Ground Controls. I want a semi-poke flush look.

Offsets are killing me! Thanks.

+13 front and rear is a good move. 205/40 front and 225/35 rear for the ultimate in equal-stretch, or you can just use a 215/40 on the rear if the pricing of the 225s terrifies you (it will).

Also, for bottlecaps...can I keep my 15mm spacers front and rear on? i imagine this is a stupid question but figured i would ask anyway

Yep, will be fine with either winter choice.

I think I messed up. I'm running the Hartge "Type A" wheels (16x7.5) +10 with spacers all around and was previously running on some Hankook RS2 215/45s?

I got new tires and they are the Yokohama S Drives in 205/50/16 and I have some rubbing on dips and some fender line rubbing when making full turns. Should I bite the bullet and sell them and get 205/45s or can I make the 50s work. My fenders are rolled but do not know to what extent

You'd have to see what they're rubbing on and if there's room to make space there.

got a 16x9 rear et 15 with 10mm spacer in the back (215/40/16)

for a 16x7.5 et 20 with 10mm spacer up front, what tires would I need? thanks!

195/45 would match the sidewall height of the rear, but, well, it's tiny. 205/45 or even another pair of 215/40 would be fine.

What size spacers would I need with 16x7.5 Kosei K1 Et 37?

so i took my wheels off this past weekend and found out that they are not rubbing on the fender where it was rolled, but on the inside wheel well directly opposite of where the "flared" part of the rear fender is. I hope that makes sense. At first thought I was thinking of trying to hammer out that certain area but that would only create a bashed up looking fender from the outside.

I took off my 15mm spacers and there's no rubbing in the rear. However it looks so "sunk" in bc of the high offset (+25). What do I need to do to create that nice stance where the wheel is flush with the fender? Even when I had 215/45 tires I still rubbed on that one side and the wheel wasn't even flush with the outer fender. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

ps im lowered on hr sport with bilsteins

Looking to get e36 style 32s. They are 15",7" wide, and in et 47. What size adapters would be best with rolled fenders. Suspension set up will be Vogtland springs with 10mm "drop hats". And lastly, tire size?

Thank you,

Alex

12-18mm is fine. 205/50 215/45 225/45 work.

You have to do at least one of the following:

o Get a stiffer suspension (that's one of the softest rear combos made)
o Not run spacers
o Get smaller spacers
o Get smaller tires

I'd personally go with 25mm adapters and 225/50/15 tires. If you want more of a flush fitment then go 25mm front 30mm rear with 205/50/15 tires.

Quick question for you guys since you know much more about these cars than I do, especially since I've only had mine a few weeks: What size wheel studs should I order? I have studs on there now (I didn't put them on, so I don't know which ones they are) that worked fine when I was running spacers, but unfortunately I can't get the caps on my DZ1s after removing them. What size/brand should I be looking for?

Any takers? I'm running no spacers in the rear and 5mm up front (for now) so I just need the smallest that would work so I can get the center caps on.

I have the typical 16x9 +15 all around set up currently with 215/40 tires. What would my tire size be if I wanted to maximize tire width/a tire size setup for best performance? I hope you understand what I'm trying to ask ahah.

I am running 17x7 +42 with 205/40 and was thinking 20mm rear and 15mm front? Could I run 20mm front and rear? Thanks!

IIRC 50mm should be right.

No space for more. Go to a sticky 215/45/16 (Kumho XS, RT-615K).
