This is 17x9 ET42 wheels with 245/40/17 Hankook RS4. Keep in mind I didnt drive with them yet, its winter here but I wanted to test fit anyway. Mild drop on RCE SS1 coilovers. I will adjust ride height/camber/alignment in a couple of weeks. 17x9 won't clear the front stock strut, it needs coilovers or spacers/studs combo. I will take better picture of the whole car when I can but right now, way too much snow, I won't be able to get back inside the garage with those tires

Oh baby, that looks nice. Pretty close to the amount of poke I'm expecting on 18x8 +35. I can't freaking wait. I love the tire meat extending down from the rear fender.

Is the front of the 2nd gen equivalent to the first gen with “performance package / TRD Sachs struts”? In other words, are spacers required to clear the stock suspension (hardware, ride height, and camber) when running 17”x9” ET+42mm wheels?

You need spacers, I tried it before installing the coilovers, the wheel hits the strut.

I just bought a set of those wheels a couple days ago, so I'm glad someone has a car with them actually on now. A little concerned since I'm on stock struts up front. How much of a spacer do you think would be required to clear the stock front strut? I have some 3mm ones left over from my 2016 when I was running Enkei RPF1 17x9 ET45.

I would go 10mm spacers to be safe, I'd be surprised if 3mm is enough. |

This is going to push back my schedule for new wheels and tires since I'll have to save for coilovers too. But I am very glad I know that ahead of time instead of finding out the hard way. I guess the upside is how decent the grip is on the new stock PS4 set. It would be so much worse if I were stuck on primacies while I try to save my pennies.

My 18x8.5 +48 fit on the first gen, albeit with only about 1* of camber on the front and only cleared by about 3-4 mm. Since I'll be running winters on the stock wheels once my car gets it's not an immediate issue. |
