Default Rim fitment question. This should work, right?

17x7.5 +44 Front

It should clear spoon calipers with no spacer, but how will it work with OEM fenders and a nice drop (2'')?

Im thinking I should be ok with a 215 tire and maybe -2'' camber.

What do you guys think?

I have 17x7.5 +35 and I have no problem with my oem fenders. 215/45. I clear spoon calipers with no spacers, but I dont know about the +44. What spoke design do the wheels have?

you should clear, assuming you are on coilover, you can always rise it up a tad if it's too low.

It'll fit with less than that much camber.

raise it, never! I wish I could go another 1/2'' lower. My coilovers are to the max in the rear, I would have to lower it more via the spring perches, but then that would mess up the rates. I still have some room for play in the front, but like I said, im the lowest I can possibly go now and still get out of my driveway with a piece of paper to spare in the front.

I think im more excited to get spoon calipers than the rims

So then the Euro alignment im running currently should work out fine, although it mainly changes the settings in the rear.

215/40-17 will work frank. Anything bigger than that will be guaranteed rubbage due to your low stance. Take note of it that with stock camber and running a 7.5 +48 (Te37) w/ a 215 tire tucked, you will have you occasional rubs but nothing major. - Negative camber is gonna play a big role in this set up

ok thanks guys.

I was just double checking. 2,200 for rims + 1,300 for spoons + tires + alignments/mounting = alot of money to have this not work right.

I should be pretty good. Rims should be ordered after Valentine's day, and then ill start saving for the other junk. Slowly but surely the cars getting on its way again.
