We're committed to cutting and flaring the fenders.

Well then. Like I said, it totally depends on the tire used. R-comps have funny sizing guidelines, some models may require a small spacer to clear the front struts.

That said, any street 245/255 will work just fine.

Wheels are on the way. Two weeks and we'll have an example.

silver or bronze?

Bronze... in true race car spirit, they're $10 per wheel cheaper and there's no performance hit for saving the money.

ooo, you got the 17x9's from edgeracing? cant wait to see them on the car.

[ZiMMie]

jst an idea of how they look lke.
not bad @ all.

[Mystikal]

wtf, my car circa 2004? I don't even remember that chop, lol.

And FWIW, the 17x9 ET20 will work all around without spacers too.

Not the case. I test fit the wheels before taking them down to get the tires mounted and the lip rubs the strut housing in the front.

Interesting. 17x8.5" ET29 will clear even with 245's mounted. This is within 2.xxx mm of that setup on the inside, at the very least wheels alone should work 100%.

I'm sorry to hear of your experience, I honestly am. Did you try both sides (to ensure the strut isn't tweaked)?

Fit with about a 5 mil spacer. I need some extra to clear the tire shoulder, Any idea where I can find 10mm hub centric 4x100 spacers?

[E30RedtopSR]

I have a set of 7mm non hc for sale. didnt need em, wheels fit minty.

[rob_e30]

As promised... at the track this weekend. 12mm spacers in front, none in the rear.

Well when you're putting down more HP and torque than an E46 M3, it takes a bit of rubber to keep it on the track!
