Springs + 0 finger gap + -1* camber = rubbing.

I'm not sure if I should roll them or just put the camber at -3. Either one would solve the problem at my ride height.

True. I gotta wait a couple weeks before I have access to a fender roller though.

^ $60 roller on eBay.. Just ordered mine. You can get a heat gun for less than $20 too.. Which means less than $80 in a fender rolling kit. Jus' sayin'

I still find myself amazed how you guys daily drive on such aggressive fitments. I envy it!

Do you guys know of any 17 inch wheels with low offsets? better yet, and 17x7 with low offset?

I don't expect to reach flush with 17x7. But I do want to go as wide as possible in that size without needing spacer. So thats probably like +40 offset?

A 40 offset is only 5mm closer to the fender than stock. Pretty much unnoticeable.

I could always buy TCPete's BBS wheels.

But really. If anyone knows of low offset wheels that will show a noticeable difference at 17x7 (so I can keep my new tires), and aren't too expensive, please let me know.

You'd have to find a 17x7 with a +10 to be close to flush. You could go with a 17x8 and a +25 offset and still keep your tires.

mines were +30 and pretty close with a 5 or 10 mm spacer you'd be flush as ***** @ +25 or +20

The tires are on 17x7 stock rims... how could I use them on a 17x8 rim?

EDIT: Google magic. "stretch" refers to stretching a narrower tire over a wider wheel, the sidewalls stretch from the lip to the tread.

It's amazing how much I DON'T know about this stuff. Will any shop do this?

Pete... If you still have these when I save up some more cash, I'm holding you to that drive.
