Will they fit 17x8 ET +20

Post by memphis9787 »

Just checking out some rims

Wanting to know if 17 x 8 with an ET +20

with a KYB Exel /50mm lowered springs combo would fit without any issues?

Or would I have to run coilovers?

Also any suggestions on tire specs?

Thanks Y'all

:D

I don't think it would be problematic with the strut but you might have to roll your fenders to make it fit.

I think they should fit. I have coilovers with 8in wide rims and a 15 offset in the rear. I probably have an inch between my rim and coilovers, but I did have to do mild fender rolling.
We all want to be fast and look cool. Cool changes but fast never does.

Depends what size tire you are planning on fitting? that also may affect weather you actually need a fender roll being @ -50mm
