5Zigen 17x8" Fn01r-C ,ET 25...Poke.
Recently bough these from a friend, Lightweight 5Zigen 'Fn01r-C' 17x8" ET 25.
Iam am running Nitto NeoGen 215/40/17 all around on stock suspension.
Plan to install H&R lowering springs (29332 VA)
Need advice to help accomodate these to avoid rubbing when lowered by 1.2" approx.
Options......
1-Roll both front & rear arches.
2-Camber kits F & B.
3-Try 205 profiles in front?
Which is recommended......from the above?
The front is sticking out.


Rear seems better in comparasion.

Decide how low you want to drop first.
Although the rear looks to be okay, but the rear will rub more than the fronts usually.
1. If you lower past 1.5", most likely need to roll the rear.
2. Camber in the fronts will help, but once again, it depends on how low you wanna go.
3. I wouldn't go with 205 on 8" wide wheels, especially if you already have 215's. IMO, 225 would be minimal I'd go for performance reasons.
FYI, I have 17x8, +35 with 235/45/17's in the front (reverse stacked) with 1.25" ish drop w/o camber kit or rolled fenders. The rears are 17x7 with 225/45's, but with two passengers in the back, the wheels rub fenders going over some roar imperfections.
If you have height adjustable coilovers/springs, just play with it and see what you like and go from there. GL!
