Default Just triple checking before placing my order

Ok, so I've spent the day looking for some buddyclub p1's in white with the correct offset and staggered.

The best I have found so far are 17x7 +42 and 17x9 +45. I ordered BC BR coilovers last night and do not plan to slam this car just shorten the wheel gap. I'm 95% I won't run into an issues with this setup but it never hurts to double check.

And as for tire size I do not want them stretched so would 225/40/17 and 265/45/17 be good?

7" Is pretty narrow for a 225. id stick to the oem 215 so it isn't bulging, becuase it will. 8" is square profile with a 225 fyi. Yes 255 will be good for the rear.

don't forget to roll your rear fenders and add a bit of camber

Not sure if you're planning on rolling the rears, but if you're going to lower the car a 245 or 255 with a x9 in wide rear +45 will rub. If you're going to order tires separate you can use the Tirerack tire finder.

I'm trying to avoid rolling the fenders, I guess I'll figure it all out once everything gets here. It'll be a little bit before I get tires. I'll try to play the ride height before rolling the fenders.

If you don't want to roll then you should be getting something with a +63 offset in the rear
