Rubbing the springs, wonder if a narrower tire would roll.... I had 16's on my other vert no issues.



Anyone rolling 17's if so what tires are you running..

Im runnin 215/45/17x 6.5 off of a 1997 Mitubishi Eclipse Gsx, no wheels spacers no problems. I had a set of 17x7's and I had to have spacers in the front but not in the rear.



What size tires are you running.

I was thinking spaces, just afraid it'll make the car look like a skateboard.

I have 18" x 8"s on mine, 40 mm offset, 17's shouldn't rub unless the wheels are extra wide.
