pics of my 57f's
#26
A friend of a friend was having problems with 18x8.5 up front with a 255/35/18 tire. Offset was +40 so I got a little concerned. He was running the bilstein shocks, and I have heard of problems with those. I am running the M2/Advance Design coilovers with 550/450 linear spring rates front to rear. I think it will be ok. I plan to run 255/35/18 and 285/30/18 tires.

What width wheel? A 17x8.5 +43 and a 17x9.5 +43 are two very different fitements, for example. When talking about offsets, you have to include the wheel width for it to be relevant. Also, where exactly are you 'rubbing' and under what conditions (turning into a inclined driveway, etc)?

Sorry, 17x9 wheels. It rubbed the fender pretty bad, bad enough to pull the fender lip out 3 times in a week or so. I went with 235/40's till I get the fenders rolled.

I run 17x9 43mm with 255/40s lowered almost an inch without issue. My springs are stiff up front at 550lbs though.

radkin, xchaos has the same 5Zigen FN01R-C wheels (43-mm offset) up front with 255/40-17 Yokohama ES100s? See his quote below. xchaos has 550 lb/in front springs with no rubbing problems.

wheels look georgous. Where can you get the fenders rolled? I'd like to go with the same wheel sizes as you, but I have to roll the fender to do so....unless I can get an offset that will allow the wheel to sit far enough back.
