17x9 +35 wheels, lower 1". PROBLEMS???
 

Ok I'm looking into getting 17x9 +35 wheels & I wanna get the koni struts & tien s shocks. But I've been hearing that's on lowering shocks, at a full lock, the rims will hit the tie rod.. is this true? Plz advise

No no issues. Running 17x9 +35s now. 245 section tire.

I'm also running this setup, but with RCE spring, and don't have any issues rubbing.

If I remember correctly, there are rubbing issues with the tie rod when using the 17x9 +45 rims (but the +35 offset is fine).

17 X 9 +35 with 245/40/17's work fine on stock, but will poke

What about w 235 tires & lowered 1"

Rub aganst fender but that was when I was at half a finger gap

What do u mean? How low was that

I was rubbing both fender lining during full lock when I had about half a finger tip between the tire and fender. I was pretty much slammed. Riased the car to a 1.5 figer gap and no issues anymore.

All heights are much lower than just a 1 inch drop.

Why can't people use units of measurements? What is this the medieval ages? We gotta use the kings foot as measurements?

LOL.

1" wont give you issues. I have 17x8.25 +25 fronts and 17x9.75 +25 in the rear and they dont rub and I'm dropped some 2-2.5" (dont remember the drop but I'm at 1 finger gap).

Looking to do this setup as well 17x9 +35 with 245/40/17 with 1inch lowering springs. Best way to get rid of poke? Hopefully get to flush.

Camber bolts.

:o:o:o:o

I'm running 17/40/245 +35 with rsr super downs on stock struts and with camber bolts maxed out up front. They've rubbed fender lining on harsh bumps but no other clearance issues yet.

Maybe one larger than average male index finger clearance :o

Ran 255/40 on 17x9+35, maxed lowered on tein street basis (2in), had 0 issues.

I plan on running some ambit re02 17x9 +35 on rsr lowering springs, I'll let you know how that goes.

LMAO you guys and your finger measurements :lol:

but couldn't find it. that worked on my computer :cry:

Yeah IIRC 17x9 +35 needs like 2-3 degrees of negative camber to tuck in the top enough to eliminate poke. Camber bolts are a start and will help but you might need camber plates as well to completely eliminate it.

@MisterSheep I will be using the time tested finger measurement once I decide how low I want to go just so I can be a cool kid

That's what she said.

Post of the day award goes to you my friend :cheers:

fucking bitch. I was going to say that but my gif was a...

"ahhh... nope not fucking with that."
