thestratomaster Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Looking at picking up a set of 17x8.5 et48 SSR wheels with 245/45-17 tires. Test fit them today. Clear everything, but just barely clearing the strut perch. I would be able to run only about zero camber with them. Anyone running a wide tire/rim setup on struts and springs? Don't want to get coils if at all avoidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I am. what offset are they? I'm running 17x8.5 SSR comps +48 with 245/40/17 Hankook Ventus RS-3 (very very wide 245) Clears the strut perch no problem with bilsteins and pinks and -1.5 deg camber -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been thinking about getting some 17x8.5's for a while now and have been wondering how large of a tire I could fit w/out problems. I'm on Bilsteins/Pinks as well. exactly the same down to brand of wheels hah. tires are 45 profile though. made a big difference What suspension are you running?

thestratomaster Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 stock when I tried them on. 235/40 would've been plenty comfortable I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th3Franz Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Franz, is a roll and pull necessary? Yes I had to roll the rear and remove the rubber trim piece. I rolled the front too while I was at it but had more room there with the camber. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
