any possible issues with 17x8 +32 on 245/40 tires?
 
Do you guys think i would have any issues running this setup? Droped on Eibach Pro-kit (around 1"). Here in Brazil and Argentina roads suck bad, so im trying to get a setup with 17 inch wheels and slightly meaty tires. Wheels options are little too... found a 17x8 +32 Volk TE37 replica that would do the job.

Any help is appreciated! thanks!

I'm running 17x8 +45 running 225/45 dropped 2" on coils. I have no problems and I don't reccomend running 245 on 8width. I believe the tire will bulge. 245 was meant for 9"

You are fine to run a 245/40 on an 8. I am running 245/40 MPSS on 7.5 inch wide. Cheaper tires may/will buldge. My Michelin tires look good, not pinched. I think that the offset may cause the front to rub on the fender with 245. camber bolts may be enough clearance. I would go 225/45 for that offset.

Read the tire-size-specific instructions for minimum/optimal/maximum rim size, and remember to stay as close to the overall tire diameter as stock.

Thanks for all the answers. I do travel a lot with the car, but i want a more aggressive look (meaty), that's why i was wondering about 245/40. Maybe ill drop to a 235/40-45 depending on how it looks and if the ride isn't compromised. i use Yokohamas R.Drive, decent tires on 225/45/17.

235/40/17 is fine on an 8" wheel, but will compromise ride slightly since you get less sidewall than stock.

how about 235/45?

What's your wheel offset for this setup? It looks pretty flush. Any other suspension mods?

+38 offset. Suspension mods include Eibach ProKit Springs. (and an alignment:thumbsup:)
