That said, mine are 17x9 +28 (2mm farther outward than the ones you linked) and I have 235/45 tires on. My tires run wider than most, and are taller than recommended, yet I still don't rub. I do need some negative camber in front, because it looks a bit silly with all that tire sticking out. With the alignment change, I could probably go lower with no issues. I'm not a big fan of this look, though, and will be switching to 17x8 +48 wheels once I get them painted an wrapped in rubber.
Ok kool thx. I also just got to talk to my local tire shop, the guy there recommended that i go with the 17x8 also, and recommended that i use 235/40/r17 size tire, but the tire i want is not available in that size so he recommended the 245/40/R17 size BF Goodrich tire in the link so im going to for sure go with the 17x8 rim, but any comments on what he recommended for the tire size?
