I"m tired of searching, help me out here. Wheel/Tire combo...

[98turbo]

Rpf1 17x8 45mm offset with a 235/45/17. The car is lowered 2 inches on KYB Agx's and Ksport springs. I need to know if I need to roll the fender and/or get a spacer. I've searched and searched and each time I read something, it seems to cancel the other out. So just a plain answer will suffice.

They will or at least will come very close to rubbing the knuckles. If anything you may need some small spacers and then you'll probably rub your rear quarter panel lip because of how low you are. Mine does but only if I hit a good bump. I'll roll them some day. Btw, I have 17x8 +40 with 245/40/17 tires.

I figured that...I have found on some threads where people have this setup just fine on their cars but aren't as low as me. I don't know, I just don't want to mess something up.

Then it should be ok for you. If the backspacing was lower I'd say you'd have to worry about rubbing the quarter panel, but you should be ok.

Yeah I will find out soon enough. I ordered a set of 3mm spacers just in case of rubbing on the knuckles. If I have to, I will roll the fenders. I just don't want too....

The 97+ rear knuckles have a slight amount more tire clearance vs the 95-96 but with that offset & 235 wide tires, if your not rubbing it will be close. Even though you buy a 235 wide tire, different manufacturers sometimes have slightly different sizing, which just makes the issue more complicated. Best bet is to just try it out & see. The spacers are probably a good idea (40mm offset would be ideal) & with them you may have to roll the inner lip, which isn't a big deal (& lots do if their running a 225+ sized tire)

Alright, got them on. I have a 1/4" of gap between the knuckle and tire. It also doesn't hit the lip on the fender. I will have to say though, I ###### have over -2 degrees of camber. If I was to camber them out the right way, they would rub.
