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???

 

you'll be fine imo.

i have 18x7 +42 and i rub a little in the back, but i'm dropped 3" on coilovers.

 

do you rub when there is weight in the car??

 

no matter what it will rub, but keep the tire diameter stock size. It will be minimal rubbing. Even more so when you get the system.

 

won't rub, I have 18x7.5 and 19x8 both with a 43 offset, but the tires may make the difference. by the way, didn't you get the enkei's and why 17"?

 

I have comptech springs and my 18x7.5 with off set 42 is fine. I had 4 people in the car before and they don't rub.

 

43 will not fit!

 

i spoke with a rep from Volk Racing and he has said that the +45 is the best offset for our car and that was for a set of 19x8 wheels

 

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

 

what do you mean? i have +42 and i'm not the only one.


+43, 7" wide will fit just fine. i doubt it will rub at all w/ a comptech drop.

 

that info was based on a drop of about 2.5" at the time i had a set of ZEAL Function B6 Coilovers

 

HRE mentioned a number closer to +52. (This in reference to 7.5" and 8" wide wheels with 17", 18", and 19" diameters)

The general range is: +48 to +52

Lowering, tire make, manual, and other factors (custom suspension) will impact this number.

YMMV

 

Yes I got the Enkei, but I have an opportunity to get a set of 5zigen super six in hyperblack that I can use during the winter time on my 215/50ZR17 Continental Contiextreme Contacts to replace the stocks!

 

thanks for all the info guys!

 

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.

 

thanks bigman!!! I am thinking twice now!!

 

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.

 

So would the 'right' offset be 48 for 18/235/40s? Would that guarantee no rubbing?

 

I had 42 offset.....for 1 week The tire store had to special order me a set of 50 offset and no problems ever. Plus the 42 offset make the car look ricey. The whells stick out too far..

 

yeah thanks for all the info guys I decided not to purchase this set, dont want to risk doing any damage of any sort to my car!

thanks once again!!
