Got a good deal on a set of rims with tires. Just wanted to know how these would fit. I'm currently on stock height, still saving up on my coilovers. Will it look funny? Roll fenders? Etc.
17x9 +62 on 255/40/17 all around.

Anyone know if the C3 has different sizes other than the 17x9?
Thanks,
No, only option you have is 62 or 48 offset.

I just bought some TRM C3's (17x9) and Hancook R-S3 255/40/17. they looks and fit great. However I'm an inch low (Tein Lowering springs) and am getting a small amount of rubbing up front. Oh, I also have a sway bar up front (think a sway bar will make it rub less though).
I took some video of my front and rear tires while driving. I can also confirm there is absolutely no concern for suspension clearance, and about half an inch to the calipers.
My video showing the wheels:

And some pics of the rubbed/melted plastic inner fender & clip.

You dont have to use the centric rings. They are recommended as they will perfectly center the wheel to the hub. Otherwise you are supporting the wheel solely with the wheel studs. A lot of guys dont run them because they sometimes bind and cause the wheels to become loose if not properly installed or torqued.

thx for the info, how much camber are you running? Do you think if you had 245/40 youd have the same problem?
