will a 17 in rim with a +40 offset rub on a ge lowered with eibach springs?

 

with what tire?

 

yep sure will

 

yup, i mean even with a 195-17 you will get rubbing in the front and the rears should be fine.

 

which springs are you going to run? their sportlines or their pro-kit? But like everyone says, it will more than likely rub but it also depends on your tire size and if you are going to run any camber.

 

i had eibach sportlines with 17x7.5 40 offset with 205/40/17 but i do have -2 degrees camber bolts in front and i did rub only when i took a corner at faster speeds

 

Wait, what is the point in having a fit if you can't take corners at high speeds O.o

 

i didnt say you couldnt i just said it rubs when your corning at higher speeds theres no harm in rubbing the liners and losing some clips

 

lol, till you go to sell the car

I would laugh and walk away if I were looking at buying a car and saw that crap.

I'm not saying it won't sell, but you'd probably get more money without tire rub wear.

 

Soo springs or rims?

 

ok I'm lowered on Sportlines.
17x7 rims w/ 40 offset
205/45/17 tires and I only rub making high speed turns.

I also found that 15x6.5 w/ 35 offset and 205/50/15 will not rub but any bigger and they will....but the 35 offset is perfectly flush. I have a few more rims to try but I'm leaning more towards a rim with at least 45 offset.

 

you guys hate way too much on people with lowered cars. who cares honestly.. "i cant drive that low" "stock height is low enough for me" "i already rub on stock height"

 

HAHA, fair enough. I actually am getting ready to go lowered but options are slim. I'm starting to see random posts of people with lowering springs wearing out their suspension much quicker, particularily shock absorbers. That makes coilovers the only acceptable option but they are not cheap so I must wait for the right deal. With that being said, when I do go lowered no rims will be worth rubbing for. (I love the stock rims anyway)

Also a lift kit durring the winter would be f'in hilarious. Would love to pull up next to an f150 and look at the guy eye level. (even though lifting provides little to no benefit in most conditions for that matter except deep mud, snow, water etc.)
