45 would fit nice with no issues i would think, 35 would probably need some camber, from experience i wouldn't personally go 8.5 wide, although there are a few on here that wide or wider..
Just what I needed to hear. Thank you :)

I wouldn't go lower than 45 or wider than 8", It feels and looks spot on with mine.

Hi guys have my eyes on some wheels
235/45/17 - Rubber

Et 30
Will these fit? Rear arches are rolled already
If you're lowered I'd say they would scrub.

Might need your rear arches rolled. I ran a 7.5 et35 which sat 4mm further out than what you want. I had to roll them and run 1.7deg camber

Did you definitely need the camber to make them fit? Also how much or a roll on the arches did you need?

I have a set of se37k rims and they are 7.5 wide +42. I can get a set of 20mm spacers very cheap at the moment. That effectively means I will be running +22 offset. If you had to roll +35 offset I will 100% for sure need to roll my arches with +22. I could bring the spacers to an engineering company to trim down the thickness.

I was hoping they would fit with 15mm spacers, but I think 12.5mm spacers on a 7.5" rim would make the wheel stick out the same as if it was 8.5" rim

assuming you still run the 8.5 +40 on the front which is the same as mine here with a 245/40

on the rear its a 7.5 et35 with a 215/45.



to make the 7.5 sit the same as the 8.5 +40 you would need to make the offset +28. if your going to fit 22mm spacers you will need more camber

in all honesty 7.5 +42 will be fine but all comes down to personal prefereance. i like aggressive wheel fitment hence im going to be running 9j +40 this year wish me luck

I have 8.5 +40 on the front. That's the look I want to get off my new 7.5 rims all round. I think my best bet is to get the spacers and try them. If they don't fit I can get a few mm cncd off the back of the spacer. I don't want to adjust my FRSU, saying that it probably will need adjustment with the different spacers and rims. 9J very nice what make rims? I like the aggressive look also but not too cambered
