Default Another offset question (sorry)

I've searched, best info I found was that I would prolly have to run 205's in the front.

The car is drop with only s-techs, so it's not even that low.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

17x7.5 +30 will stick out quite a bit.. my works are 17x7.5 +35 and they already rub if I lower my car any more / go over hard dips. My front fenders are also slightly rolled. a 205 might be able to help since it will stretch a little bit. I am running 225's on mine.

he said he has 225s but your best would be a 205/50 up front along with a roll and pull of the fenders. As for the rear I would do a 245/40 with rolled fenders and some camber.

Ok, i've been considering a 205 serie tire in the front - and going with 245's in the rear since i'm currently on 255's.

the only way to add negative camber is by using camber plates correcto?

So I researched a lil and read that the oem camber can be adjusted, so I guess i'll play with that....and go with a sticky 205/235 setup.

Is there a low-offset wheel thread?

there you go, go through it and read some of the stuff they talk about its helpful, you'll get a better idea and better understanding of what to do. It will work, just roll/shave your fender and get some camber. Theres a guy in that thread that does 17 x 8 18 and 17 x 9 22 its on page 21, and it looks good too. lol
