lucky 7s?

[thasilver3]

hey i was jus wondering if 17x7 would fit the 2.3s. im lookin at the volk ce28n or any replicas of it also.

 

[Gambino]

yes, 17x7 would fit, however, it does depend on the offset. do you know the offset for that rim?

 

[thasilver3]

42 offset

tph wat would u say is better wit a drop the 17" or 18"rims ?

 

[Gambino]

42 offset is HIGHLY pushing it. I believe there are people running that on here (possibly do a search to find out). I would definately say if you find anything over 45 you should be safe. Or you could do what I did and find a shop that will machine them to a better offset (mine were machined from a 42 to a 47)

either will be fine. when you are dealing with the drop it will come down to tire size/offset more than rim size. I have sportline springs with 18x7.5 rims with a 47 offset and am running 225/40r18. I dont have any rubbing issues. what springs you running/planning on?

 

[thasilver3]

well i had sportlines i didnt like em they where way too low on the 5 dr. so im getting tein basic coilovers soon

 

[Gambino]

yeah, sportlines are definately very low and take some getting used to. and make you hate speed bumps. I would say that especially with a drop 42 will cause some rubbing and you should try to find 45+
