It'll be a tight fit - that's for sure! Expect to whip out the Dremel tool to munch away on your inner fender liners. What tire size are you planning?

lowered? what tire size you want to run?

I'm running 17x7.5x42mm and it fits fine, but not lowered and running 215/40

if you were lowered and running 215/45, then i dunno....i think with 215/40 you would be ok.

I know Casey from Promini is using 215/40/17 on the RGR which has 38mm offset and he is a) slammed to the ground and b) has no rubbing but is c) using coilovers.

So... that probably didnt help at all actually

I'm using 215-45-17 Kumhos MX's on Pro Race 1's with a 45mm offset and H Sport springs that have lowered the car about 1" all around. No rubbing or bottoming out issues. As always .... your mileage may vary.
