Well I did some reading, but just want to verify. Some posts gave me the impression that with this offset I have (42) that the 245/45 series tires should be ok?

The tires are Falken Azenis ST115. The rims as I stated in the subject are 17x7 42offset. My car is lowered abour 1.5", I belive more so 1.6" There is some negative camber, but not as bad as before I did the rear washer camber kit, don't know the specs on it because I havnt done an alignment since putting it on.


Will I be ok with these tires because of my offset? I read about people with lower offset (in the 30s) with rubbing or what not. I would go with 225/45, but I can get this for a killer deal right now.

thanks in advance.
 
No, for two reasons. 245/45/17 Falkens need a lower offset and putting 245s on a 7" rim is nuts.
