new wheels, offset and tire size question

stevo_neon · Post by **stevo_neon** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 11:32 pm

here is the tire size: 215 45 17

Wheel: Piaa Sportmesh, 17 x7 +48mm offset

i personnaly think that this will rub, i have tokico blue shock with eiback pro kit coil. if this rub i'll buy a mopar stage 3 coilover kit.

your opinion?

Yes... going to be CLOSE... I assume you are running stock suspension from your LX, not the SRT suspension? If so, the math will be somewhat like this...

stock wheel is 15x6 with 35mm offset. You are adding an inch and moving it out 13mm which moves your inside back 13mm, add a half inch to that and you will be SUPER close to the strut perch, if not touching it already. Adding the other factor of being a 17 inch rim, you will be rubbing even with stock srt rims (17x6, 215/55/17)

They will most likely rub. Stock SRT tires are P205/50R17 in size, not P215/55R17!

Get the coilovers, buy the rims with a nice tire size, and you'll love yourself.
