Inner or outer what? Liner or fender? Does it matter? Get proper sized/offset wheels and no worries.

Has nothing to do with the rim diameter.
It has EVERYTHING to do with the rim width.
7" or wider, +46 will not fit.
It will hit **** inside.

Yup, will hit strut housing for sure. I had some 17x7 with 35mm and with 225/45/17, they are CLOSE to the strut. Stocks are 40mm, and they are close too, so 6mm more inbound will be too far in.

BTW, always wanted to ask you this Ted, who's the chick in your avatar?

Using spacers is a "ghetto rig". Sell the freebies and buy proper wheels.

I agree, spacers are never a great idea. However, if you don't drive that hard, you can get some spacers, possibly 15mm to make it close to flush to the outside. Given that size, you may have some custom, hub-centric ones made up, which some places say are stronger than stock (go figure), and also come with its own studs.
