Ambit RE02's in 17x9 +35?
Hey!
I've recently began to really feel these limits of the "prius tires" that come on these knarly vehicles. I've done a lot of searching and I am beginning now to put a parts list together for this car. The Ambit RE02's are the only wheels that really seem to fit my taste/budget/needs. The question at hand is this: Can I run these without having to roll or pull both front and rear fenders? And what is the widest tire I can run without running into rubbing? I've seen that Toyota has "pre-rolled" the fender lips due to the fact that they knew it was a "modify-ready" platform.

depends on your suspension setup. for the most part, 17x9 +35 with 245/40/17 tires will be fine without rubbing unless you're really low... but adding negative camber can easily take care of that.

I've also been running 17x9 +35 RE02's for a little while now on 245/40/17 tires. No rubbing on stock suspension. No need to roll your fenders.
