Will 17x7.5 et35 wheels fit?

[Kalasanty]

Hi! As the title says... will 17x7.5 et35 wheels with 205/45 tire fit? I found nice wheels in that size and want to buy them, but I'm not sure if the offset is right with that width, and don't want the wheels to stick out.

Anyone tried that? Maybe someone's got pictures of how it looks.

Yes it will, but you need a camber kit for the front and rear for proper fitment.

You should be able to fit those under your car without too much trouble except for a roll of your fenders. The stock 04 TL wheels fit very well and they are 17x8 +45.

"proper fitment" does not mean adding camber until you can jam the wheels under the lips of the fenders and quarterpanels.

Lolololol. Camber depends on your ride height, its not the same if you are dropped 1in vs. being dropped 3in. You you really can't say he'll need a camber kit, unless you know exactly what height he'll be at.




To the OP, they will be fine. I'm running 17x8 +35s, with a 215/45 tire (that actually fits like a 225/45), and they fit just fine. I would recommend rolling your fenders though, since that is always a safe thing wot do when lowering the car, and throwing after market wheels on it. Not worth risking crunching a fender.

Wtf , it doesnt matter if your are lowered 1 or 3 inches. You would still need a camber kit for proper tire wear. Oh wait , let me guess , 0 offset with no adjustment on ride height on a a 15x10 wheel would fit perfect. Lolololololololo.

Oh by the way i am running work vs wheels , 17x7 and 17x8 +35. Lowered about 2.5 to 3 inch.

Camber is a function of wheel diameter now?
You could fit that tire size if you could clear your knuckles/arms.

The size of the wheel does not determine camber...

I have 17x7.5 50 offset and they fit fine. At stock height I did not need a camber kit.

I am not debating if it fits or not, just stating that any ride hieght adjustment needs camber adjustment. I was being sarcastic on the 15x10 wheel statement, but they will fit , if that floats your boat.

To the op if you stick to stock ride height you dont have to roll fenders or install a camber kit.

He's just saying that negative camber would be needed to clear the fenders, like all the stanced kiddies do these days.

+35 shouldn't be too much of an issue. It's not like you're trying to stuff 0 offset wheels under there, or something crazy wide.
I can't remember if my Falken Hanabis were +42 or +38. Either way, 17x7.5, and they fit just fine. Rolling fenders for a little extra clearance might not be a bad idea, but they should fit just fine.

[sonikaccord]

That's what I was looking for. Just wanted to clear that up, because it sounded like he would need a camber kit because he swapped wheels and remained at stock height as well. The OP never mentioned drop, it was assumed that he was going to be lowering as well.

Thanks for all the info.

I want to lower the car about 1,5 inch. But that will happen a bit later this year, as it's a real pain to get lowering shocks for a CB in Europe, and costs a lot to get them imported from the States.

The US isn't the only place to get suspension parts. KW Suspension and H&R are based in Germany and have incredible reputations. If I had the money, I would seriously consider using KW coilovers for my car.

I'd love KW's but that's "a bit" out of my budget. So is H&R unfortunately.
I was hoping for Tein's Street Basis, but Tein UK doesn't import those for the CB.

Look at getting Koni Sport (Yellow) shocks. They are the best stand alone shock you can buy off the shelf, and are available worldwide. You could pair them with Tein S.Tech, Eibach Sportline, or Neuspeed Sport springs for a nice and comfortable, quality setup.
