Default 17x9 too wide?

F - 17x8 35mm offset
R - 17x9 38mm offset


Will I have any problems, lowered on Buddy Club coilovers?

Also, what size tires are recommended?

Thanks!

Justin

Any problems? Not if you don't consider blowing out your tires and fenders a problem. That won't fit at all front or back. You need probably at least a +55 offset for an 8" front and close to a +65 offset for a 9" rear.

Actually 17x9 you could run 55 offset and up, 63 prefer. I got 18x9.5 with 62 offset in the back. Running Tein Stech springs with 1" drop. I could get 1 and 1/2 fingers in between top of tire and wheel wall. And i have no issue with the back rubbing, even at high speed!!

You can fit 17x8 and 17x9 but not with those offsets. The Shuk FR1? offsets are perfect for 225/45 and 25540 tires.

For those rims you might be able to pull off the 17x7 +45 front and 17x8 +45 rear if you roll your rear fenders.
