JustinOlson Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Any update with pictures on the front of the car taken to show fender to wheel clearance? Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Any Update on these wheels? I'd like to see the clearance with tires. Regards, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtaylor Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Here they are with 225/45/17. I wanted to do 245 but got a great deal on them... And with no motor in the car it does not matter much. I am sure 245 will clear front and back. Looks awesome to me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past people were saying they didn't clear the hub centers... are you using spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they fit on the outside of the hubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZeder Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Is the problem the front? I have installed Cobra mustang rotors on mine. And they fit on the outside of the hubs.Yes the problem is the fronts I have the stock rotor setup so without the extra spacer of the rotor like you have they will not fit on. They look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z-ya Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Anyone interested in using these wheels in a staggered configuration? I was thinking the 17x7.5 +4 front, 17x8.5 +4 rear. You buy one size, I by the other, and we do a swap for a staggered look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You buy one size, I by the other, and we do a swap for a staggered look? I am, but I believe the 7.5 are not (yet?) available in +4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Or you can run +20 offset all around. The 17x7.5 +20 are perfect if you have coilovers (5" BS). 17x8.5 +20 in the rear would require 1/2" spacers for 5" back space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't have to run a spacer on the rear if you run a 8" rear coilover spring and get the spring collar above tire. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the look of the +4, love the lip I might just end up getting the 8.5 for all four corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin That really limits your ride height adjustment. You also may not be able to get the ride height and or travel where you want it with that limitation. A 1/2" spacer is no big deal as long as you run longer studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matsdat Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 DTaylor, did the wheels/tyres foul with the guards at the front when wheels are turned? Awsome looking wheels by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Lookin good, a stepped lip would be nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight-280Z Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Do you know if these will fit without coilovers? I am using Tokiko Springs and shocks at the moment.....Might pick these up and sell my sportmax 002 if they fit....I don't mind rolling the fenders. Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
