Default 17x7.5 on a Delsol?

Any probs with running 17x7.5's on a Delsol?

They are in ET45 Rota 'Redlines'..

Will they fit? what about when its dropped?

Many thanks!

I don't think there is a snowballs chance in hell of these will fit and not rub. I know enough people who have problems running 15x7s if they are lowered in a Civic. Del Sols are notorious for rubbing anyways, so I would'nt count on it working without rolling the fenders.

Thats pretty interesting!!

These would be run with 205/40/17.. will the .5" extra width 'stretch' a 205 tyre so it would rub?

Its obviously not the wheel thats gonna rub, so hmmm, perhaps they will go!!

Well darn, I stand corrected. I thought that they would rub for sure.

Thanks for the help..

Do you reckon the 7.5" compared to 7" will have any effects on rubbing compared to the 7"??
