Hey guys,
Ive been a long time reader of this forum and its come to the time to make my first post :D
I bought myself a 97 BA Astina Hatchback a couple months back and finally have cash to get some rims :cool:
My question is: Will 17x7 rims with 205/40/17 tyres with ET35 cause any problems like guard rubbing etc? Ive read from many posts in this section that the optimal offset should be between 40 and 45. In the near future I plan to lower it an inch or two as well. I used the wheel offset calculator and it says itll extend the outer edge of the wheels by 29mm and im thinking it might rub the guards :confused:
Any advice is welcome :)
- Phil
