I have searched, but the wheel fitment stuff i have found online don't mention anything about rubbing issues on 4ws equipped cars. I'm leaning towards 17x7 w/ 205-45-17 +45 offset.. I will be probably lowering it back to stock ground clearance maybe a tiny bit lower and was wondering if anyone here has 4ws and a similar setup. I think it owudl be ok because if i do some math, the overall outside diameter between the two woudl be approx 1", which would make the tire about 1/2" closer to the rear fender, with an inch, inch and a h alf drop after that, seems liek it woudl be ok, but I can't measure my car for clearance right now since it broken at my parents house a few towns away... does my math sound right? what are some of you 4ws guys running for wheels/suspension?

 

no drop on the 4ws yet...still waiting for the buddy club coilovers for the grey car so i can swap the teins onto the 4ws ... heh

but ive seen big wide rims fit with a drop on the 4ws model...
i think you'll be safe with the setup youre going for

 

I have h&r sport springs on my 4ws and I put a set of 17x7 wheels on it with 205-50s and they rubbed but the 16s with 205-50s do not. So maybe try fitment before you buy 17s just incase.

 

hmm.. i have a set of 17x7 +42.. that shouldn't be too far off from where i'll be. where were your 205-50's rubbing? on the fender flare when you turned?

 

94' JDM 4WS here...

I have 17x7 +42 offset wheels with 215/45 tire and the car is verry low an i have no problems, I've run 225/45 tires in the past without proplems too

 

coudl you possible get a few pics of your car with the rear wheels turned out all the way so I can see what it looks like?
