I am looking to get one of these two sets of rims in 17" form. The Superleggera cast 17's, or the Shuk WR1 17's. My question is, would these tire sizes be a good match up for the eibach pro kit? 215/45/17 (front) 245/40/17 (rear) Im going to get the Kumho MX's. Will I have any rubbing issues? The Shuk's are 17X8 in the front with 48mm offset, and 17X9 in the rear with 62mm offset. Superleggera's are, 17X7 in the front with 45mm offset and 17X8 in the rear with 48mm offset. Which would be a wiser choice as for avoiding rubbing? Thanks for your help. Tried searching, but nothing answering this specific question.

The Shuk WR1 (ASA FR1) are the better fit, primarily since you can put wider tires in the rear. 245 might even rub with the Supperleggeras without an aggressive camber. I am biased since I own the ASA's, but they are for sale...

Offset is the disctance from the wheel center line to the hub face, if that makes since. A lower offset moves the wheel centerline (and the tire of course) outward. The original rear wheel is near 63 mm, much higher than most cars. An offset like 45 moves the wheel and tire 18 mm (or 3/4") outward, which is on the limit without lowering. Once lowered however, the wheels need to be realigned. Once the camber is set back to normal, the tires can rub.

Go with the Shuk's. I squeezed 275s on the back (rolled the fenders just a bit). 255s will fit with ZERO rubbing on a ~1" drop.
