rim width/offset

hey i know there are alot of these posts but i couldnt find one for this particular width/offset.....i found some 17x8 bullitts with a +30mm offset...can i run my 255 45 17 nittos on these with eibachs with rolled fenders and not worry about it?

If you roll fenders you shouldnt have to worry about rubbing.

not true. with a low or high enough offset youll rub no matter what you do to the fenders.

how bad were you rubbing with your +24mm wheels? i would THINK that you could pull these off without worrying too much, but youll never know until you try it.

i wasnt rubbing bad on a +26mm 17x9.....these are +30 17x8 wouldnt the inch loss in width combined with the higher offset work....my original bullits were 17x8 +24mm offset and they didnt rub (not fenderolled either) but i was running 245 45 17's and i will now be running 255 45 17's i want my rims to tuck close so that my fenders being rolled isnt pointless....

i think you should be okay, but again you wont know until you try.

what about a 17x9 with a +45mm offset would that rub up front while turning?

too many questions. too little trying it out.

well i dont wanna spend money on rims im gonna have to resell....how much of a difference is a 17x9 w/ +45mm offset ... as opposed to the OP rim? but i think ill just get the +45mm even though im not sure it will work right....

not sure if with a 9" wide wheel that itll rub on the struts then with that high of an offset. the wider the wheels the lower the offset you have to go to get them to fit without rubbing the struts.

On a 30 offset you should be fine, you answered your own question: new wheel has a better offset (means, sits more inside the fender) and is not as wide, so you should be fine.

+30mm offset is still pushing it pretty far.

Well i got the good/bad luck of getting Bullits (i know you hate them, but this is my only temporary budget option) almost for free and theyre from a 02 stang... So +30 offset will push me pretty bad, but i think im gonna be fine with rolled fenders, eibach springs and kyb shocks.

you should be okay with the fender work. i know i had mine rolled all around the car to run my 19s without rubbing.

as long as they are 17x8's youll be fine...im running 17x9's with a +38mm offset on eibachs and BARELY tucking the 255 nittos im running....

If I recall correctly, they are 8's, if not then ill just rub but oh well... Its all about HELLA FLUSH!

yessir

With so much fender so easy to get at why not "pull" the fenders like the euros and tuner cars do and keep the cobras boostjunkie3?
My dream would be rocking some HRE monoblocks on my red coupe on some intense coilovers. Few on Clubgp have been building coilovers also.
