Those wheels are 17X??? With what offset?

 

45.

 

What is the width? 17 by 7? 7.5?

 

I believe 7.

 

They are fine then. We can try them and just in case they don't work we can take them off. I think I'll be comming home early next month.

 

you will have to roll the lip on the rear i had 17x7.5 with a 48 and it rubbed till i roll the lip ang added some neg camber

 

If the wheels work without rolling the lip on stock suspension they will work fine with the coil-overs.

 

I don't have a problem at all with rolling them. I think Imo go get mah batt.

Can't hurt.

 

Pat like I said if you want them they are yours. I have ton's of other GC8/ GM6 suspension pieces. I think I am going to be selling my RS, so I won't need any of that stuff. I may just be selling the RS to my sister for her to drive and race with. We'll see.

 

as along as you keep it stock ride height.... trust me dude once you lower it with that offset it will rub

 

Yes I agree with Dave I had to roll the rear fenders on my RS and I only had 215/45/17 and Tein S-Tech springs and it actually rubbed once with stock springs with sombody in the back..

 

Yeah, its at the point of neverending anxiety where it is. They're not touching, but I can feel about 1 cm between the strut body and the top of the tire.

I haven't driven it too hard, but I have taken a couple of full speed 90 degree corners, though.

I was more anxious about the fronts rubbing during a turn, but the inner wheel well plastic molding is still intact.

The rears are just aching to rub, though.

Nate, hopefully I'll have the WRX complete and still be breaking it in when you get back. That way I can clear out the garage and put the coilovers on the RS.
