You have to take into considderation your ride height. the lower you go, the better off you will be with stock or close to stock specs. I am lowered about 2 inches and am running 17x7.5 + 48 with 225/45 in the front, and the rear is 17x8.5 + 54 with 255/40's. I get a little rubbing on the rears when I hit some of those dips on the H-1 @ 60mph going west, nothing too bad. When I go to replace my front tires I am going to slim down to 215's, with the 225's on, I had to raise the front of my car about .5 inch because my tire caught the fender when pulling into the drive.

 

Thanks for all the advice. Do you recomend keeping staggered? I'm dropped on h&r springs for now. Planning on going koni yellows and maybe swift springs so I believe the drop won't be too bad. Those advans are dope. Know anyone selling rims?

 

given the 50/50 balance the non staggered setup eliminates understeer and improves cornering...as for wheels offset is something that is affected by width and design of wheels. so with each different wheel choice you have to take different offsets into account. anything much lower than a 50mm offset on the front is where you may run into trouble, with the rear you can play with it more(in my opinion) because you won't have to deal with turning the wheels. my spoons are +35 +45 front and rear respectively and i have had to roll and relocate my rear bumper tabs, and i don't even wanna go into the issues with the front...i am fairly low though...come out to the meet and we all will be able to see your car and help you out more

 

don't get swift springs. get Espilirs .. sp?
