That setup will work with absolutely no problem, whether your at stock height or your slammed on coilovers.

You could run a 225/45 if you want to put more rubber down on the ground. Buddy Clu wheels are nice but persoanlly I would try and find a 17 x 8 with a similar offset.

And yes the HFP suspension is a nice drop if your looking for a conservative drop and better handling. If you want to go low and aren;t as concerned with the handling the HFP setup isn't for you.

hmmm thanks for the info bro.... i found some rota wheels 17x7.5 with 45 mm offset... would that work good with 225/45's?? the lower the offset the more the wheels stick out right?

correct. And yes you should have no problem with a 225/45 on that size wheel.

17 x 8 +32 w/ 215/45/17 lowered on TEIN SS coilovers

Nope not rolled, and yes I am actually running a good amount of negative camber. 4 Ingalls camber bolts, all the way negative up front, and skunk 2 rear camber arms, running around -2.0 to -2.5 in the rear. The shot is deceiving.

He's got smaller tires also. Less rubb.

[JeShUa]

Real. Mine is only -1.5.. -2.5 might be nice but idk.. I wouldnt need camber arms to run that lawl.. then idk if I could run my tsx wheels

[friedk]

Rub on your basics to hell and back with that offset and that camber. lolz

What? You wouldn't have -2.5 degrees of static negative camber just from lowering the car. And why wouldn't you be able to run TSX wheels?

I just bought some 17x7.5 +48

What would be the best tire size? I have a Si Sedan lowered on Eibach Sportlines. should i keep the 215-45-17 or go with a 225-45-17? Would a spacer be needed?

You won't NEED a spacer, however I think the car would probably look better if you used a 5 or 10 mm spacer.

As far as tires you could go with either size.

I am looking at 18x7.5 +45mm offset Motegi DP6 rims for my 07 sedan no drop. Will it work?

[Si Speed 317]

Think of new rims, they're 18x7.5 with 42 offset... What would be the correct tire size? And would they work with HFP drop?

These both will fit fine. Run 225s with 7.5".

whats the best size rim and tire for the eibach sportline drop? i want it so it gives the apperance of being tucked, but without rubbing what so ever

[smokenrowboy]

I wonder if a +32 offset would have fitment issues. Has anyone here run 9/9.5 in. wide rims?
