i'm running on Tanabe DF210 lowering springs (1.7 front 2.2 rear) and i was wondering if anyone knew if an 8.5 inch wide rim would rub when i turn?

i'm on an s-tech which is like 2.2 and 2.6 or whatever and i'm running 19x8 up front and a 19x10 out back.

i rub but not bad.

8.5 should fit fine depending on offset.

i would suggest keeping it within +40-48 and you will be fine.

REALLY?! :doh:

I really liked those too...who is the lucky owner now? just curious...I would like to know what offset those were...

I'd love to know how you got 10s around the rear crossmember/control arm back there :nails:

they're custom made, have different wheel faces that allowed me to get that wide of wheel there, they're around but im' not gonna do the searching for you. its not hard, bring your car to a place that makes custom wheels and say what you want, they'll build it for you

^I figured it would be that simple, but I don't have the patience or the dough to go that custom yet...
