How will it fit, no rubbing or anything? What tire size should I get to be sure of no rubbing?

It will fit but depending on the tire and the alignment setting you may need to roll the fender lip.
If I can help let me know.

Well, I am getting Kumho Ecsta Supera 712's in 225/45's. Hopefully I won't have to roll it.

Worst case scenario, how much would it cost to get my fenders rolled? Is the car still driveable for a few days before I could get the fenders rolled?


Actually, I'd like to upgrade the wheels to 245/40's... Will that need to be rolled?

Bump for urgency.

You would still be able to drive the car. You can also just have an alignment done and run more negative camber. Check with a body shop for the fender lip roll. If I can help with the tires let me know.

do you really think they will rub, what if he has stock suspension it may not rub then

am I right??

My guess is they will fit without rubbing at all but all tires are a little different.

I ended up going with 235 tires. If I need it rolled I'll get it done.

Let me know if you get any rubbing, I am in the market for some rims and tires.

I would like 18's but I don't want to roll my fenders, also I am running stock suspension

We can't tell if they'll fit without knowing the offsets.

Here's the pic. I'll get a photoshoot tomorrow after they are mounted.

I'm running SSR Comps, 17x8.5 in the front, 17x9 in the rear. Had to use a 10mm space in the front to clear the strut. Car is lowered on Eibach Prokit springs and Koni SAs.

and you have no scrubbing, what about a fender roll?

Update...

I'm driving around, no rubbing, nothing. I've got the SSR GT2's, 17x8.5" with Kumho Ecsta ASX's 235/40. I've got very little clearance but it'll suffice.

Post pictures, please :)

As long as you have clearance you are good to go. The alingment and type of tire does have a lot to do with it. Some tires are just wider than others.

hi..between the SSR Competition and SSR Comp-H rims, which is stronger?
both are forged?

thanks

Post pictures, please :)

I stated in that thread somewhere that when I dropped my camera it screwed it up royally. When I try to turn it on to take pictures it shuts right back off, but I can turn it on when its on the setting just to view the pictures already taken. :(

My mistake, I didn't realize that was your car. I really like those wheels and your car would be killer with a drop. I don't know what SSR is thinking by discontinuing them. If you ever want to trade wheels let me know :)

I agree about the drop. Right now I'm actually trying to extract some mo'powah out of my car. Drop should come after the dead of winter.:redspot

As for the trades, pfft, keep dreaming.:buttrock
