Yes I know, another wheel thread lol...
Too compliment the new BC coilovers recently installed in my gpvr, I've decided to buy some new wheels. The old El'Cheapo Bob Jane specials don't do it justice!
The rims I had in mind are 17x9 with a +28 offset.
Checked it with willtheyfit but I'm not convinced.

So before I go and spend $1800 on these I just want to know if they will work at all/with guards rolled/something else I can do?

Re: Wheel Fitment
Yep all 4
But the fronts do sit very very close to the bottom seat part of the shocks.. Don't know what the difference would be for the coilovers though.

Re: Wheel Fitment
Coil overs would make them fit way easier with the bottom seat of the shock being eliminated...

Put them on the lowest setting possible too, for extra rubbing.Sahin wrote:Coil overs would make them fit way easier with the bottom seat of the shock being eliminated...

Re: Wheel Fitment
Should be alright I think. I'm 17x9 +22 and Matt is +25. What tires too? Ed: never mind, looked at the link, haha.

Re: Wheel Fitment
Jah. Though also forgot to mention, probably worth rolling the guards as well. The slightly higher offset, lower tyre profile and spring rates will definitely help though. I dunno, you could probably test it out and see if you can get away with it.
