THe cause of my tire puncture

[Cjung]

yea im 100% sure the set i dont use is 35

i even have a picture to prove it

[masagsxr]

Yup.. if it hits it hits bro... only way around it is to put spacers or get lower offset +30. I'd buy some spacers if you are press for $$$ than trying to get new wheels. Those wheels you got there don't look bad at all.

[Mark_Dorman]

are they 17x8's on all four corners?

[Cjung]

no... its a staggers set

17x8 in front
17x9 in rear

all 4 are 35mm

damit... i guess ill buy some spacers...

[masagsxr]

You should.. thats the cheap way to go for now... That way you can still drive the car instead of waiting weeks/months to save up and come up with the $$$ for good wheels and your car just sitting on the driveway..

Man...8 inch wide in the fronts with a 30 offset will probably rub the fenders...

[Cjung]

hmm... looks like im in a dilema

[mr.asian.m2]

if you don't want to use spacer. then, just don't drop the car too much. at the right height. you won't need spacer on them.

I think his car will look like one of those SUV's (Nissan Morano, Lexus RX 330) if he raise it up high for it not to hit ...

Heres a guide christian.

Christian 8's in the front are pretty wide that is the maximum it will fit. I would do what mixxer said and raise the car slightly adjusting the ride height so you don't rub your front fenders. Be careful over bumps you will rub. I think it is time to roll your rear fenders too!

[mr.asian.m2]

for your next set of rims. i go 17x7 for the front. and if the back or the front rub. you can cut the inside bottom of the fender
