Will it fit??

[drift into a curb]

Hey everyone, I have 5zigen 5zrs 17x7.5s +40 offset on my s14.  Most the rim places I've asked, have told me that 235/45/17s will fit my car without rubbing, but tires.com said they would rub.  I have 215/40s on my car right now and I wanted something wider this time around.  Do you guys have any personal experience with 235/45 rubber?  any problems?

Also what are my options?  Will wheel spacers save me?

Id just take a measuring tape out and measure how close you get.  I have 215/45Z/17 right now and it seems there is a lot of space left but I dont have any kind of aftermarket springs to lower it yet.

I think they'd fit right now, but if you ever lower it that may then be a different story.

im sure they would fit, there are many 240sx's with 235 series or more.  i think grant's are 255's in rear.  i have 215/45/17 and my car is lowered 2 inches in rear and 1.8 in front and they aren't even close to scrubbing.

Thanks for the info guys.   I should be getting the tires on by next week when they are delivered.  

Hey gsu240 what spring/shock (or possibly coilovers?) are you running?

dropzone springs, 1.8" in front, 2" rear and tokico blues

oh yeah, what's the offset on your rims gsu240?

I just got the tires delivered yesterday and they are huge.. hopefully i'll get some pictures this weekend, thats if they fit on my car.

+40 offset, but only 7 inch width. but i think you should still be fine

I have 255 45 17X9.5J on the back of my S14 and I don't rub at all that is close to 10" in the back. I think you will be ok. If not you can pull your fenders out it won't look bad.
