Opinionated question for you guys.
I got some 17x9 +20 falken hannabi's to use as drift spares and wets for next season, not the nicest rim of all time but they do the job and were cheap. Figure this way I wont care about smashing them.
I picked up some 215/45/17 used tires for cheap and found a shop that would mount them. I tried to find 235/45s but it was to no avil. Not even 225s! Anyways - I already have 15mm H&R spacers on my car, and the fronts fit (in my opinion) perfectly with a 17x9 +5 setup, but the rears are (also in my opinion) sticking way too far out. The tread is still inside the wheel well, but the sidewall and rim sticks out huge. The rim is out about 15mm from the fender.
Two options: take the spacer out and now have the rim flush or just a bit less than flush with the body which would look kinda whack, sine the front wheel sticks out about 5mm OR add rediculous amounts of camber to the rear (i have rucas). What do you boys suggest?
I wish I could grab a 5-8mm spacer but it just can't be done in time for the event on saturday. Thanks.
