proposed tire setup

RedAuzBathurst94 · 08-10-2008, 11:49 AM

I'm thinking about changing over my 93+ stockies (94 car) over to a pair of 17x7 205/40/17 front and 17x8 235/40/17 rear, both with a ET35 offset.
Question is, do you think i should have spacers (front or rear) or should ET35 be sufficent clearance.

That's the same size I'm using on Sparco Racing NT-01 wheels. Unfortunately I can't remember what my offset is.

very nice conservative setup.
spacers would give you less clearance to the fenders. none are needed for clearance to the suspension.

those are great sizes and offsets. imo, i wouldn't use spacers because they'll look great already. however, i'd run 215/40/17 and 245/40/17.
