Default Fitment question for 17inch Volk SE37K and Pilot 4S

Hey

I recently bought some 17 inch SE37K wheels (17x7.5 +48 Front 17x8.5 +45 rear) and plan to put some Pilot Sport 4S on them (215/245). I bought the car which already had Eibach Spring Pros which lowered the car 40mms. Should I be getting my fenders rolled or has anyone has experience with a similar setup without issues?

Thanks!

james

you can probably get by with just a bit of camber in the rear, relocate the tab and a slight roll, rears won't be too difficult to make work at all. the fronts shouldn't rub because thats a good safe wheel size for the front to not rub

The car being lowered always makes it more risky. Keep a close eye on the front for signs of rubbing and be careful in situations where the wheels and turned and the suspension is compressed.

I'd rather roll my fenders than catch them with a tire and do real damage.

Default Stock springs

I decided to go back to stock suspension. Based on the reading of the fitment sticky (all 172 pages) - looks like a stock suspension and stock tire sizes (215/45/17) and (245/40/17) should allow me to get away without any rubbing on both front and back. Or is it safer to go with 235 rears?

likely to try out the new Goodyear 6s or pilot Sport 5s since I’m based in Switzerland.

I wouldn’t put 235’s. Stock height should be ok but still keep an eye on things.

This.

You can either roll your fenders on your terms or let your tire roll them for you on its terms....
