Rubbing QUESTION....PLEASE HELP!!!!

[Sharking4life]

I am getting a set of Rota D2's for my 06 tC, that has H&R race springs(about1.8" drop). I want to get 17x8.5. They wheels only come in a 35 or 48mm offset. I want to get the 35mm offset. Will they rub?...What size tires should I get with them? Thanks

u shouldn't rub....i have d2s and its 18x8 and im on coilovers...my front has no finger gap and i slightly rub on the wheel tub....so u should have no problem

18x8.5 ET 35 rubs on full locking turns with that kind of drop. Depending on what tire size you go with, you may not rub with the 17x8.5 ET 35.

thanks guy...what tire would you go with if i go 17x7.5 with 35mm offset?

[AcidDrop]

you can still run the 17x8.5 with a 215/45/17 tire and you really shouldn't have a problem rubbing. yes the tires with stretch but it will should be fine if mounted propertly.

I would run 225/45R17, but you can still run stock size 215/45R17.

will i rub on o7 tc on 18x8 on teins?

^what offset and tire size do you plan on getting.

[doper]

they are 18x8 Offset: 35 and tire 225/40/18

[AcidDrop]

with that offset you might want to go with a 215/40/18 tire, chances are you might rub with that offset.

[doper]

how bad will i rub cause the package come with those tires .

[AcidDrop]

^hmm i'll get back to you on this one in abit.

18x8.5 ET 35 rubs on full lock turns on Tanabe DF210 (2" drop). You will be fine with 18x8 ET 35 and a 225/40R18 tire.
