Thanks

yes they fit.
I have a set of wheels that are 17x7 w/53 offset and 225/45/17 michelin pilot sports. I also have a set of 17x7.5 48 offset and 225/45/17 kumho v700's. my suspension also sits about 1.5 in. lower in front and 2.5 in lower in rear. no problems.

std suspension it will scrub, go for 215/45/17 you will have no problems then unless you throw it into a corner REALLY hard, it also depends on the wheel offset.

I'm kinda confused...17x7 w/ 53off w/ 225/45/17 doesn't rub with a 1.5 to 2.5 drop, ditto 17x7.5 48off w/ 225/45/17, yet std suspension will rarely rub with 17x7 215/45/17? Oh yeah, doesn't say offset on that one. Mmmm. Cause I would really really like to run either 17x7 or 17x7.5 with 225/45(or40)/17's with the stock suspension, and eventually, with a set of whiteline control's 25-40mm drop. Anyknow know how or if I can do this? and what offset I would need to look for to do it?
Mucho Thankos
