would probably depend on the offset. mine are +42 with a 7" tire on a 7.5" rim and have no problems with a 17

if i were to get 17x7.5 offset 38mm with a tire size of 225/45/18 with hfp suspension im pretty sure i wont rub, but thinking of the future. if i got coilovers, would it rub?

gudauto_pow_si · 07-29-2008, 01:50 AM

i saw this in the first post

17x7.5 38mm offset 225/40-17 (1.5" drop)

but they are using a thinner tire compared to a 45. would it rub with a 45 on the 1.5 inch drop?

im thinking if you get a 17" rim and a 18" tire its not gonna work.

Kronos_32 · 07-31-2008, 05:20 PM

Can someone help me out. Ima be getting 48mm offset for my Si coupe for one 5zigen fno1r-c Hyper black wheel. Why??? because they are discontinued and have none left in the entire freakin US. the sizes are 17X7 with a 42mm offset which is less than the original offset of 45mm for stock fitment correct? and I will be putting on one 17X7 5zigen wheel with a 48mm offset due to the only route i can take. help with any issues i may have. would i be able to get a spacer and move it to 42mm? i shouldnt have any issues right???? HELP....

***ryryninja*** · 07-31-2008, 05:23 PM

Yes you can put a 5mm spacer on to make it 43mm. I don't know of any places that make a 6mm spacer.

Kronos_32 · 07-31-2008, 05:28 PM

i hope i can. there wouldnt be any issues would there? im on the phone with a whell fitment place.

***ryryninja*** · 07-31-2008, 05:29 PM

shouldn't be... at all

Kronos_32 · 07-31-2008, 05:32 PM

Yeah cus 6mm isnt even half an inch. and the caliper clearance in the rear would clear it for sure. cosmetically he said he wouldnt be able to tell either.

***ryryninja*** · 07-31-2008, 05:33 PM

Nope you wont....

Kronos_32 · 07-31-2008, 05:34 PM

Well thanks for your help Mr. Ninja. I will hack away at my paycheck to get these put on my car.

Kronos_32 · 07-31-2008, 11:17 PM

Would I be sacrificing performance or doing anything detrimental to the car with only one wheel(probably one of the rears) at 48mm offset and the rest at 42mm?
