43 offset good for our CL-S??
Guys, I am looking at a set of rims 17x7 with 43 offset, question:
I have a Comptech spring drop, will the 43 offset be a concern???

With or without a drop? If with a drop, how low?

The general range is: +48 to +52
Lowering, tire make, manual, and other factors (custom suspension) will impact this number.
YMMV

Rondog, what are you talking about, you rub every once in a while in the rear, ive been there once or twice when you had the 18's also. Dont forget Classy's suspension sits lower than yours for some reason. Classy no matter which way you slice it, you will rub every once in a while. That offset is way too low. SlyTls has 18x7.5 with a 43 offset and 225 40 tires and he rubbed like a bitch on a comptech drop. You may not rub every day, but i will cut my sack off if you dont rub every once in a while.

I'm just looking out. I hate rubbing, i wouldnt wish the fear and terror that i have experienced with rubbing. If you are going 17's, there are many more options for dirt cheap at the right offset.
