Magnetics we made many years ago....I keep intending to get another batch done but have not gotten around to it.

Hi Brian,

I have a slightly lowered NC with JIC coilovers and was thinking of this combo on all 4 wheels :

rims : 17x8" +48
tyres : 235/40/17 tyres

Would it fit without rolling?
Would it rub on hard bounces?
Would it be better if i used a narrower tyre eg. 215/40/17 on the front?

tks lots in advance!
Kev

Hi Brian,

i've also got a shop who has
rims : 17x8.5 +49
tyres : 245/40/17

would this be too big?

appreciate your advice lots

The 49 offset is a good choice but 245s are REALLY tight...and may rub. There are a number of variables including camber, tire model variances.....but we consistently get the 235/40/17 on without rub and we usually see some rub, at least over bumps, with 245s.

And this combination is slightly lighter than stock...by a few ounces. We plan to get some 245/45/16 race tires and either get an old set of these RX7 wheels for us or some SSRs in the same size.

Does this combo needs fender roll? The car is about 4 points lower than stock.

Many thanks

It needed a slight fender roll for 245s.....none required for 225s.
