well looking around at wheel packages and came across a nice package from a-tech.

will this setup work?

front:
17x7, +43, 5-114.3 with 215/45/17
rear:
17x8, +42, 5-114.3 with 235/40/17

im currently running on Volk GT-N
front:
18x7.5, +49, 5-114.3 with 225/40/18
rear:
18x8.5, +49, 5-114.3 with 245/35/18

and currenty not rubbing. im lowered 2"+ with espelir springs and blown OEM shocks.. the current setup does not rub @ all, and runs great.

will the prospective setup match the setup i have know? any suggestions would be great! thanks..

 

Jon,
That set up will work but why?...... I'd get a better wheel that can accomodate more rubber all around....

 

Yes, that setup will work. I ran the Weds Sports SA90s and Black Racing wheels. Both have very similar offsets/sizes.

My BR wheels were:

+45 17x7.5 and I ran a 215/45/17 tire
+38 17x8.0 and I ran a 235/40/17 tire

My Weds Sports wheels:

+43 17x7.5 and I ran a 215/45/17 tire
+35 17x8.0 and I ran a 235/40/17 tire

Only down side with the Weds is it did rub in the rear. Strange how the BR wheels did not with only a 3 mm difference and same exact rear tire.

I was at or around a 2.5 inch drop with -2.6 camber in the rear. I was actually -3.6 before the accident.

Anyway that should work. For daily driving and commuting its fine. I agree with SIIKNR you want more rubber on the rears at least 245. With that said those wheels will rub if you slap on 245 rears.

 

with that being said, i will rub with a 245 series,

but isnt the prospective setup still wider than stock 205 & 225?

i just do not want to get lower in wheel performance, than stock.

 

That's correct.... Just remember that the rear offset sucks by +20mm.

You can do better.....I know how you like to be lowered and this setup will not accomodate that at all...
