Will I rub?
Hey guys,
Wanted to see if anyone has experience w/ these sizes.
I have a 2000 AP1, just bought some TE37s.
Lowered about 1.25 - 1.5 inches (koni shocks and tanabe springs)
The fenders are stock, not rolled.
F: 17x7.5 +48 with 225/45/17
R: 17x8.5 +50 with 245/40/17
I read a bunch of stuff on here, wheel fitment guide, etc, but i wasn't sure if this would be okay for an AP1 w/o rolling the fenders.
Wheel fitment guide on here recommends 215 for +48. Can I do 225?
After hours of research, I decided to go w/ the star specs.
I have them on my AP1 rims, and love them!
And yes, it is a DD, but i do track her about once every other month.
Thanks guys!

It's possible you might rub but some negative camber can fix that. I had 17x7.5 +43 with 215/45 and had no issues with unmodified front fenders. In the rear I had 17x8.5 +40 with 245/40 with a slight roll, bumper shave, and tab relocation. I'm not sure but you might rub in the corner where the rear bumper meets the quarter panel when you hit a dip on the road. I hope someone else can chime in.
Awesome, thanks guys!
I did forget to mention, My alignment is just the factory specs.
(although people on this forum mention that the factory range is quite wide)
I was just being cheap, but it sounds like I should roll my fenders..
I thought i'd rather not spend the extra money if i dont need to!
That should take care of all these rubbing issues..
time to go rub one out.. i meant the fenders of course!
