Yeah, that is def. not close. He sold his rims to someone else. They're 17x10 with a 20 somethin offset.

So if i want to run a 17x10 rim with a +35 offset in the rear with a 275/40/17 RT-615 tire. would i be good without rubbing at stock height. i know i will be good on the front because i am running a smaller rim and tire. just not sure weather to go with the 275 or 255 on the rear.

that's gonna rub.

i have 17x10 wheels (25 offset) and 245/45 tires, and i rub.

a lot.

I thought somewhere in here and the will it fit thread that they said you can run that wide of wheel and tire in the back without issues. a +35 offset would also be 10MM farther in then a +25. also if the fenders were rolled would it be ok?

Big Money Pit

that was purely speculative on my part, but it just seems to me like it would since i have 17x10's. i'd go with 255/40 if i could do it all over again. what do you have in the front?

10mm won't make that much of a difference on a tire that big.

however, most of the guys in the WIF thread know monumentally more about this stuff than i do, and i don't want to steal their thunder.

i'd plan on rolling your fenders if i were you.

Big Money Pit

fwiw, i asked about using a 275 on this wheel a while beck before i bought them and someone told me it was just too much tire to cram in there, and now i see why.

nice. post pics asap.

^what's the tpms problem? mine work fine.

AntonToo

the place i had my new rims installed at refused to swap tmps - they said the piece gets coroded and mounting point is very likely to crack if they try to take it out and it will cause air leaks.

WOW thats nutty! i gotta come by check that out!

myriadshalaks

iTrader: (1)

the tpms will do that, but it's usually good for a swap or two. mazda wants them changed every time, but f that. they're expensive.

and you don't have to change the whole things to avoid the failure, you can replace just the weak parts.

alright...the wheels are here today and i will post up pics of the wheels themselves later. the wheels will go on the car this weekend.

XDEEDUBBX

if u must know..since I dont have the car and the wheels anymore i'll spill the beans..

17x10 +25 245/45/17 nitto nt02....

you will rubb so a fender cut/ roll and an aggresive negative camber setup will be needed.

I am gettin some 5ziegens mounted on friday with their lugs. The TPMS deal, i am not to worried about. I will prolly just use regular stems and no sensors. I already have hte CEL, DSC, "Swervy car" light, cruise main, and the cruise light on when i drive. Whats another light. Plus the COBB AP is in the near future so that should be able to remove a couple of those lights.
