They are 17" by 7" with 44mm offset, I am lowered on B+G springs on kyb struts. The tire size is 215 / 45 / 17.

Will I rub? I know the speedo will be off a little, other people with this tire size how does it handle?

Thanks

Those suckers are going to be sitting deep inside the wheelwells.

+42 is stock placement.
+40 is what people normally put on.
+35 will make it so your even with the edge of the wheelwells, but you might have to do some trimming of the body to get them not to rub.

+44, you won't rub the outside, but you might have a problem when turning, rubbing the inside of the wheel.

I'm running a Toyo Proxies 4 205/40r17 on 17x7 +40 offset with Eibach 1.2" Lowering Springs. I seldom have a rubbing problem. Only if I'm going up some major driveway while turning.

Kuhmos tend to be more square on the edges and have a bigger issue with rubbing. Toyos are more drift style and have tapered edges. My original Falkens were like the Toyos also.

I don't have dirt guards anymore and their bridgestone tires. I guess i'm just going to need to look for smaller tires/rims.
