I have a chance to pick up some RX-7 (16X8 0ffset 50) with some Hoosier SO4's 245/45/16. I know that I will need spacers to make this work but am wondering what size and if the tire would rub too much. The car is lowered with the eibach prokit. I have looked and seen people using an 8mm spacer and then a 10mm and 15mm spacer and some have had to grind away some of the control arm. I am wondering if these wheels will work using a 8mm spacer or if I would have to grind some of it away. Any help would be great. Thanks
 
Grinding a control arm is usually a 1G thing. For a 2G, you'll need to get the offset down to about 38 for Victoracers or 35 for Hoosiers/V710s.
