Your backspacing on your R56...share it please.

Your backspacing on your R56...share it please.
Hey guys...
Just trying to gauge how much backspacing people have been able to fit under an R56 before rubbing on the inside (not the outside).....specifically the rears.
Who has 8" wide wheels with high offsets or 7" wheels with high offsets and lots of backspacing?
How much room do you have until rubbing on the inside?
What are your wheel and tire specs?

I'm pretty sure there's at least that much in the front, but I'm not sure about the rears. We were getting close to the control arm with a few of the wheels we were trying, but I'm pretty sure I was able to get my fat fingers between the inside edge of the wheel and the rear control arms on all of the 7.5's we tried.

That's along the same lines of what I'm trying to figure out. I'm planning on going with 9's in the rear with a lower offse that would have the same backspacing as the 18x8 that you're looking at...

The wheel set I'm looking at is... 17x8 et25 and 17x9 et32. That's after the required adapters, so i may just make the rear adapters 5mm bigger and make them 17x9 et27 if that offset is too high. I know the front's will be fine...just worried about the rears.
You have any idea if 17x9 et32 will rub on the inside? Stretched tires of course. I know it will be fine on the outside. The car is gonna be lowered A LOT (more than the current car) and I don't want the wheel rubbing on the inside and preventing me from getting lower.
Wheels are a secret for now....but they're 5 lug multipiece wheels and some nice lip

But let's keep this on topic Anyone else have any backspacing numbers of what fits on your 07+?

I've got 17x7.5" wheels with a +45 offset with 215/40/17 tires, lowered on coilovers, and there plenty of clearance on the inside edge. The outside is tight, though
I think a +40 offset on 7.5's would be perfect. We're going to trying 235's on +38 offset wheels for the track soon.

Yup, you're right. It's been one of those weeks for me
We were looking at 4 different sizes of wheels with 3 different offsets and multiple tire choices while adjusting ride height and camber.
When I get the car back, I'll get more exact measurements of what is there and what would be optimal.
