msr rim questions

my bros friend is selling some 17x7 msr rims. off set is 43. im planning on putting on some 225/50R17 goodyear eagle gt tires on. this is how my car is currently sitting (tein basic's slammed). these rims and tires are going to be for the track only.



and these are the rims that im planning on buying. they weight about 21lbs


will they fit? also can anyone photoshop them on my car?

I put 10mm spacers on my oem CLS wheels so they were essentially +45, and they rubbed like crazy over even small bumps when even one person was in the back. I didn't add more negative camber though.

Basically the lower offset you go, the further out the wheel is going to stick out.

I ran 16 x 7 with a 45+ offset and no rubs whatsoever. A +43 shouldnt give you any problems.

I have a feeling that if I had 225/45 instead of 225/50, I wouldn't have any problems. But the taller sidewall of 225/50 is causing me to rub. And Rajca is looking at getting 225/50. Rajca, my suggestion for you would be to get 225/45.

They would fit, but why not a wider track wheel?

Dude don't get those. I used to have MSR's on my car and switching to oem wheels made my car look alot nicer. No offense 03tl_types, I'm just saying that I wouldn't get em. They stick out weird and aren't made that well. Save up for some different wheels if you can
