Another Off Set Question
- Thread starter thkohlb

You might get away in the front but "might" rub between tire and strut in the rear.
This is Dan's setup:
Wheels: 5Zigen 5ZR Copse 17x7.5 43mm offset
Tires: Yokohama AVS ES100 225/40/17
1 inch Spacers in rear
The inside of the rear tires rub against the rear struts without the spacers.
With your setup, the clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 9mm MORE
The outside edge of the wheel will RETRACT in towards the body by 3mm.

Don't take my word! 
H&R makes good quality spacers.
Opauto.com sell them like $120 a pair.

You might not need 1 inch spacers, hard to tell. :shrug:

I'm running a 17x7 rim with a +35 offset with 225/45 tires using a 20mm spacer in the rear. I do not rub in the rear, I rub only on hard turns in the front, but I believe that to be because of my sidewall height. I could have gone with a 25mm spacer and the rear would have been completely flush.
