Hey guys,
Ive been searching around and I cant find anything that says how wide of wheels we can run without rubbing. Im sure suspension mods will dictate who wide we can go, so if anyone knows in general (or more specifically with Eibach Pro's) whats the limit we can go?

it all depends on drop and camber. if they are pretty close to stock specs then 17 x 8

 

According to CRSX, Pro-kit Eibachs drop:
Front: 1.0 in
Rear: 1.4 in

Im probably going to use -1* front camber and -.5* on the rear.

Would this be enough to squeeze 8's under the fenders?
Would rolling the fenders prove beneficial?

The bigger factor will be your offset and tire width. You ought to be fine with a 225 width tire without rolling the fenders, but 235's can be a bit iffy depending on the tire and sometimes rub a tad at full lock.

you might as well buy a 7.5'' or 7'' wide wheel in that case then, with a good offset (lower than 40mm), because you can run 225's on 7'' wide wheels.

No point in paying more for a wider wheel if you're going to stretch tires on it

 

On the 05 & 06's the stock rim width is already 7", so I would imagine you could run 8" depending on your ride height.

 

Run the 8 inch, especially if you're not running super stiff sidewalls, it'll help with a stable contact patch.

 

you can go as wide as 9. depend on the offset of course.

 

You all have been helpfull so far, and you all mention offset... for suning 8's what offset should I be looking for to stay-nonrubbing?

im dropped to a 1 finger gap with 18x8 and a 225 tire fine w/o rubbing. I want a wider tire but i think i may have slight rubbing issues.
