buying new rims and tires

ag11hockey · January 30th, 2011, 01:57 PM

Alright so im getting ready to order 17x8 FR500 for the front and 17x10.5 for the rear. they should fit with no problem right? i only need spacers if i want the rear wheels to be flush with the fender right? so i dont necessarily need them?

sorry for being redundant but i just want to make sure before i spend 1100 bucks

If you're buying ones that are made for your car, yes they will fit. I doubt you need spacers for 10.5" rears to be flush with the fender. In fact, spacers would probably push the wheel beyond the fender.

thats true but they are deep dish so i didnt know if they will be sunken in more

I have 18X10 in the back, 18X9 in front. My front tires stick out further then my rear tires ...
Put them on, see what it does, if you dont like it, just take them off and put the spacers on.

Just curious, why only 17x8 in the front in stead of 17x9? a 2.5" difference between front and back wheel widths is going to be awfully noticeable.

typical drag look ??
Idk, but the widest tire for an 8 might be the smallest for a 9 ???
But it is less weight also.
