I used to have a set of 17x7 Shik's from wheelmax and the offset was 40

Recently bought some flick bullet's with a 35 offset but they rub when I turn the wheel
about half-way....don't kow what I am rubbing on but I can definetly hear something bad sounding........its not the tires

I have a 2 inch drop with a 215-45-17 tires

Also what would be better for a better rim a 40 or 42 offset

Can someone please help me with my 35 offset rim question otherwise im selling them cause I can't figure it out at all.

 

Try a 5mm spacer to start, see in you are still rubbing.

 

Your tire is almost an inch taller than stock. I had some 225/40/18 with a 42 offset and had rubbing in front. A stock size tire was fine though. Crank your wheel and park it. Check the inside of the tire where it meets the back side of the fender. Probably rubbing there.

 

Kenr74 I doubt it since I rub not even at full turn and I had previously run a 40 offset with the same set-up with no problem except at full lock.so even though it may seem possible I have concluded thats not the problem...try to get a spacer thanks anway

 

Are you sure it's not 42 offset? that's all I see on edgeracing.com for the Bullet.

 

nope i just wrote the wrong one in the begining...its the matte black one.the flik ftd
