I want to run a 17x7.5 on my GE8 and was wondering if it was necessary to run spacers to clear anything.

 

Without offset + tire width + other mods being known, this is an impossible answer.

 

+40/45 offset with function n form type 2 coilovers

 

Should not be a problem at all in the rear. In the front you will need to add some camber if you dont have any already.

I personally run a 17x7 +42 with a 5mm spacer in the rear and I am pretty flush in the front tho I have no neg camber yet nor am i slammed on coils yet either.

 

I'm running 17x7.5 low 40ish offset on 205/40 tires with no issues. Running -1.7 camber both sides with my fender liners tucked. Lowered on tein basis coil over, all the way down in the front and pretty low in the back.

 

okay good to know. haven't added camber yet but I am looking to here soon just need to find a good camber kit.

 

are you running a separate camber kit and if so where did you get it so I can start looking

 

Camber kit consists of two bolts to replace on each side to adjust camber.

SPC and Eibach as well as others have the bolts available.

 

Thanks Ill look for them

 

What they said lol

 

Nothing to camber the rear, but should be fine with that offset. The front you can camber and be fine.


Either way, if you rub, it's nothing a good roll/pull won't fix.

 

Sounds good I was looking at picking up a camber kit for the front and rear anyways. Thanks for the info its all really helpful

 

im running 17x7.5 +42 with swift springs... 215/40 btw... 205/45 is ok too.. no rubbing issue front and rear..

 

I run 17x7.5 +30 I think. On buddy club coils. 215/45 front 245/45 rear. Had to pull and roll fenders.

 

Thanks I'm still looking at camber bolts and shimes still want to fine the camber issues to make the wheels and tires look right

 

It depends how low u are. Should be fine the way it is at stock height.

 

I'm slammed right now on form and function type 2s on the stock sport wheels, but I'm looking to raid it up a little when I put the new wheels and tires on.

 

Im on tanabe soc and wheels are 17x9.5 215/40 in the rear and 17x8.5 195/40 in the front 2 degrees of camber in the front. Yes it rubs but you have to pay to play rears are rolled and pulled also.

 

are you running any spacers on the front or rear? good to know about the roll and pull.

 

Why are you running wider in the rear?
