Ok so first let me answer some questions before I ask mine. Yes I did check out the tech section and yes I have done a search. I am thinking about a set of wheels I am getting as a package with tires. The tire size the website, Wheelmax.com, is telling me I need is 205/45/17. The size of the wheels I want are 17x17.5 with 42mm offset. I want to know if there is a fitment problem with these, I'm assuming not because the site offers a fitment guarantee. I am also debating if I should get some OTG spacers. The only thing that is confusing me about the spacers is that they would push the offset, in the rear, out to about 31 mm. This is 7 mm more than stock and I am worried about rubbing that far out. On the flip side the wheels are 7.5 inches wide and I don't want any rubbing on the suspension. Too much to concider! Please help clear the fog from my head! If your curious these are the wheels I'm thinking about.


By the way, I am planning on lowering my box using Hotchkis springs before I add the wheels. So it will be lowered about 1.75", I expect, once they settle. Thanks for any help and input y'all can give.

 

Did you check this thread?

I have Hotchkis springs. Rough ride, but great handling. I think the drop is about perfect.

 

I have 16x7 rims with a +37mm offset and OTG spacers, amd I'm no where near rubbing....not even close. You should be fine, even with the added 1/2 inch of rim width....which would only be 1/4 of an inch on the outside of the rim.

 

Anyone else have an opinion on this set up? I did check out the tech thread. xB_Factor, how low are you running? With the OTG spacers your offset in the rear should be about 26mm. Is that correct?

 

Well the offset doesn't really change. But yes, the outside of the rim would equal a rim with a 27mm offset.

I'm running Tein H-Techs.....figure maybe 1.5 inch drop. However, I've got some S-Techs on the way. They should be close to 2 inches when settled, and I'm not worried about rubbing at all.
