Zac88 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Have a friend selling some rota grids 17x9 +42 with 245 wide tires. Will these fit? Planning to drop on sti pinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 yes, but you will need a modest fender roll and/or some more negative camber.have your friend let you bolt the wheels on your car to see what kind of clearances you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have 17x9 +38 with 245/40/17 pretty low, some say slammed, rolled fenders all around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 That might be tough to clear with struts. But nothing you cant fix with spacers and fender work.

whitetiger Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 with a +42 wheel and a 245/40/17 tire he'll clear the struts no problem. its the fenders he has to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too laff79 Posted October 16, 2012 I Donated Too Share Posted October 16, 2012 It will look pretty funny on stock struts, though. Grids look weird in 17's unless you're slammed on coils IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDoug60 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 What's a good ET so that fenders wouldn't have to be rolled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 get 17x8, with ET +48 range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDoug60 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 get 17x8, with ET +48 range So no rolling needed? This is for stock high correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 yup, some have succeeded with 8.5 +48 w/245s on stock suspension or lowered on springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devobuzz Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm hoping to succeed with 245/40/17 Dunlop Star Specs, 17x8 +48 on iON springs with -1.5 deg F and -1 deg R camber with no fender roll!!! I'll find out at some point - just waiting for my Azenis' to wear out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDoug60 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 yup, some have succeeded with 8.5 +48 w/245s on stock suspension or lowered on springs How would the camber be with that setup? Had a Vw and had shitty camber wear. Trying to avoid that at all cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
