17x8 fitment

Yo i got some bbs style 5s 17x8. would it fit with my skunk 2 lowering springs?
right now i'm running 15x8 OG san with little scraping in the rear (fenders are rolled already). i have a feeling the rims are gonna scratch on the fender.

Defiantly will rub fronts, bad. Rear is also possible. What is your offset on the og and 17s? 17x8 is gonna rub. Og is 7" wide so offset is key.

OGs 15x8 have +35 offset and the bbs style 5s have 20 offset.

Good luck to ya. You need to roll, pull and cut depending on rise height

Its the tires that rub, not the wheels.
Depending on the offset you might get 195/40x17 tires to fit OK.

you are going to rub. the new wheels are 15mm closer to the outside than your last wheels. what size tires are on your current wheels and your new wheels?

As others say, it ain't gonna work.The centerline of those 17x8 wheels are so far from the hub face I'm not even sure they will fit inside your lowered fenderwell at rest.
