17x7.5 et28???

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if i will be able to run 7.5 width with et28 on my 08 MCS? will I have issues with rubbing? And if anyone has run similar setups, pics will be well received! Thanks.

I just ordered a set of 17x8.5 +25. Don't think you should have any issues but I'm going for a pretty aggressive figment on coilovers

Hey cb,

i plan on running stock suspension until I get the money for coilovers, do you think they will still fit? I won't be able to tuck them in anytime soon and I wouldn't want to rub the fenders. Thanks.

I've seen a lot of people on 17x 8 +30 and that seems to be the straight up and down fitment on these cars. Anything over that your looking at rubbing issues. For my wheels I'm obviously going to have to do some trimming and camer to tuck them but I with what your looking at it shouldn't have any rubbing issues
