Howdy,

So I'm just about to hit the "Buy" button on some wheels but I'm not 100% sure they'll fit.

It's an R53 MCS on AP/KW coilovers

the wheels I want are 17x8.5 et 35 all around running 205/45/17 toyo's.

I reckon the rears will be ok (maybe a bit of rubbing but that's fixable) but I'm not sure about the strut clearance on the front. I've seen 8.25 et 25 on fronts with no issues but I'd rather not use spacers if possible.

Any thoughts?

 

205's on a 8.5 inch wheel?? If they're stretched that far then you should be okay on clearance

 

What do you think about 17x8.5 et25? Add in some nice (2-4*) camber, run 205/40 tires, and you'll be barely tucking tire while spending a decent amount.
