I am looking at some 17x7.5 rims with a 48 offset for front and rear. I will be dropping the car with neuspeed springs and running 215/45/17 tires up front and 245/45/17 tires in the rear. I just wondered if i would have a ton of camber or any issues with rubbing. Any info or suggestions on this including tire sizes would be appreciated. thanks.

Matt,

That will work with a 7.5" rim

Maybe a minor camber adjustment. You might want to go with 245/40/17 on the rear to achieve a closer outer diameter matched to the front 215/45/17.

 

JohnsS2K is correct, you will need a 245/40R17 rear and maybe more negative camber but you really need a 17X8 wheel for the 245 tires. The only tires that fit correctly would be 205/50R17 and 225/45R17 rear.

A +48 offset is fine on a 7.5", for reference I have +49 8" for my back wheels. They do stick out more than stock (obviously) but I haven't had any rubbing problems using the OEM S-02s running at stock height.

 

i ran that set up for a while with my car lowered with neuspeed springs. worked very well for me with 215's on the front and 245's in the rear.
