Confusing for Wheel fitment with stock suspension

[alex20054]

Hi guys,


I am planning for the new 17' wheel and use 245 17 40 tires.
My 86 is black package using the brembo capilers with stock suspension and using stock height and will not lower.

Advan TC4 17X8 45 and Apex ARC8 17X9 42 or EC7R 17X9 42 and VS-5RS 17X8.5 44

I am confusing above setup will rub my car or not?

or it must to change suspension to use 245 17 40 tires?

Could somebody have suggestion to me?. Thank you.

Our 17x8.5" ET44 and 17x9" ET42 wheel fitments will clear the factory suspension and Brembo calipers, and can both accommodate 245/40-17 tires

Not an 86, however, Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06+ 245/40/17, mounted on VS-5RS 17X8.5 44, touches my BRZ front lower spring perch and coil.

I made a mistake. There is about 2.5mm of clearance with this tire. I don't know for certain what I did wrong during the first fitment. I apologize if what I said about a strut clearance issue caused anyone to pass on this wheel.
