mtc R32 0 Posted August 28, 2006 anyone running 17x7 on the fronts and 17x9 on the rear, need help choosing tyres just wanna no wot other people are running. cheers Adam I'm no expert... but 17x9 at the rear on a Corrado...!!!! Have you had major arch work done?? Otherwise can't see them fitting!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bournemouth James 0 Posted August 28, 2006 They will fit fine, you will need to trim the rear arch lips back on the rear and run 225/35/17 tyres on the back and 195/40/17 tyres on the front Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted August 28, 2006 I reckon it depends on how low you've gone. I have 17 x 7.5 on the back and a fair drop and thats about as wide as I can go on my car. It does rub and slash the tyres a wee bit. And I have trimmed the offending bits of arch lip off already! Personally I think you'll struggle with a serious drop as well. Good luck :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bournemouth James 0 Posted August 29, 2006 You need to calculalate the off set and get the wheel as far inwards as possible without it hitting the trailing arm or strut, ur not gunna be able to go mega low but you can go low enough, mine is quite low and they have never rubed, even with 2 people in the back, i recon i could go lower but if i wound down the spring platforms on my konis any futher they would be touching the tyres!
