Hey, I'm running the 15" 96 - 98 JDM DC2R Wheels on my VTI-R with 30mm conversion adapters (lol) The wheels are +50 offset, and the adapters are 30mm, so thats +20 offset? They look fine on the rear, but they scrub because the inner lip is not rolled, and they look like I'm rockin 4x4 status at the front. So I'm putting them back in the garage and purchasing a new set of wheels, would anything need to be done for either:
15 x 6.5 +35
or
16 x 7 +38
Cars a DC2, if I didn't mention it already, thanks yo.

Looking at getting 17x9 +22 all around. Not sure how I want to run my tires. Ultimately I want to run;
1F: 255/40/17
R: 235/40/17.
What I'm scared about with this setup is on full lock, the 255's up front may scrub part of the chassis? On my current setup 17x9.5 +25, I had 255/40/17 and on full lock, i've scrubbed away part of the sound deadening on the chassis, hence why I went down to a 235/45 tyre.
If I compare the 9.5 +25 to 9 +22 wheel, the offset will be 3mm further out and roughly several more mm less for the inner clearance. You guys (TOM!) reckon i'll have any dramas running a 255/40 tyre?
1aEDIT: btw, I also have a 15mm spacer up front, I can also run to give more clearance between inner tyre and chassis if need be)
If this isn't possible, I have two more options,
2F&R: 235/45/17. This is my current setup atm
Third option;
3F: 235/45/17
R: 235/40/17
What are the consequences of running a slightly thinner profile in the rear?
The reason why I am sticking to only 255/40 or 235/45 sizes up front is these are the only sizes I can run due to my ride height+steepness of my driveway.

I'd use a 255 and deal with it, non-staggered tyres on staggered wheels is silly.

17x9 +20 (215/45/17) - still needs more camber and trying to get more low out of the rears.

Originally posted by p33r View PostI have considered grabbing 245/40 but would clearance be difficult if i wanted to keep my front guards stock and use camber bolts (im dropped on shocks/springs)? I know stevan has 235/40 and doesn't have much clearance between and wheel and strut, and apparently progressive springs are a lot wider than coilover springs.
any idea what i'd need to do to fit 245/40 on 1.5 finger gap?
No-one can tell you exactly what you will need unless they have an identical setup, but I am going to go out on a limb here and say if you fit a 245/40, two camber bolts per side to obtain as close to -2 camber as you can at the front, roll the rear guards, then they should fit no problem. You might get rubbing on the guard liner clips at the front, and obviously a 235/40 will be better.
The difference between a 245/40 and 235/45 in terms of guard clearance will probably not be that much, the larger diameter of the 235/45 will be more inclined to result in rubbing compared to the extra 10mm of width on the 245.
