I was running 215/45/17 yoko es100's on a +42 17/7 which rubbed rubber on inner suspension. Will this happen with 17/7 in a +38 offset? I belive i have my offset issue answered, worse comes to worse i will run 215/40/17 on the i-forged 38 offset. Now which ones do you belive will be closer, cleaner, and classy. Full polish, Black inner?

 

Those 4 mm should be enough to end the rubbing.

 

Thank You

 

You could get some spacers and that should end your rubbing issues.

 

not necessarily, it may just move the rubbing from the inside to the outside and the spacers he would need would not be cost effective.

 

the rubbing on the 215's occured on the inside next to the struts, i switched to 205/40's but i dont like having such small meat in height. so you belive that the 215's will rub the opposite direction with the 38offset? i am getting there not so confused compared to before. Final wheels will be 38 offset 17/7 hopefully with the 215/45/17 yokos i have had in my closet for months.

 

i'm running 215/45/17 on +40 on the front and don't rub. ever. on the rear i had the same set up (till i put on a 15mm spacer) and didn't have a problem either.

 

I thank you all for your responces, my plan is to close on a set of i-forged wheels. The offset thing is a big deal because my hope is that they will meet closer to the fender line. My last choice is wheter or not they will look funny on a bsp xa lowered with such a big lip(reverse lip)

Stuck between black, and high polish. I think high polish will stick out like a sore thumb.
here is my car currently
current wheels(hoping the iforged black is the same deepness and shade

Now on tien coilovers, switching to JIC magic xa set up( xb tein basics do not go as low as xa basics, i have xb basics.

 

dude, i'd stick some spacers on there... that car looks sick with those wheels, save the cash for a leather interior or sumth...

 

Thank you, but i want a offset that will sit out a bit more. I did the spacer thng and did not like the way the car handled. I am on coilovers now but always wanted a bigger lip any other opinions on the AERO I-Forged? It is hard to visualize wheels on a my car for me. It usually takes a bout 2 months of research, comparitive pictures, and a month of offset and tire questions coupled with a final picture in my mind. Thinkin 17/7, not sure on 18/8

These in black (1st choice

Have you contacted iForged yet? They can give you the perfect fitemnt for your car. I can give you my contact with them if you like. I know he can spec out the perfect backspacing / offset for whatever look you are trying to achieve. He actually works for Intro, but I beleive he can take you iForged order. Intro manufactures all of their wheels anyway.

 

if you can send me a pm, i would appreciate any help
