thats besides the point. yeah they will fit but you might have some rub if you are lowered.

mine are 42 offset and they are fine now lower they might rub.
but it all depends on how low you go. i think you could go easy
1 inch and have no problems.

hey thanks, while the picture shows five they do have a four lug 42 ET at 17x7

Niko, I was planning on getting the Tanabe 1.5 inch drop, with the 5% more stiffness than OE...what are you running on yours?

BTW I will probably pass on the Flik..I come from an Audi background and no one likes Edgeracing...sorry if they are a sponsor, but I just hear bad things about them...

Yes, if others info here is correct, you install 205/40x17 or 195/45x17 tires. We think so too but its close.

I'm not running any drop right now at all.
maybe in the future but not yet.
if you want to look at pics of my ride go here
and see for yourself. it might work with the stiffer
ride.
pics are on post 35
