Post 17x8+48 235 40

Looking at getting a used set of wheels. The tires that are on them are a 235 series. I know the tears will fit, but will the front run at all?? Wheels are rota g-force 17x8+48. TIA

Are you lowered? At stock ride height they should be ok but if you are lowered there could be issues.

Surely the previous owner of these wheels can tell you if he had to modify his arches ?

Wouldnt you rather invest in some wheels that would give you a larger contact patch than 225/235 tires? 8" is pretty narrow :/ If this is a temporary set of wheels to get you off of 16s, then okay...but I'd be looking for something in the 17x8.5 or 9" range. You may also want to keep a staggered setup until you can get a larger front sway to put on the car.
