Rims to wide

[turbodee]

Was up my name is dee I have a 2004 White Ralliart lancer with some mods.I just got some rims from a online rim dealer and I was so happy because I was taking my lancer to the next level. It pays to do your homework when you call someone that sells rim for a living you would think they know best but that was not the case on this deal. Just to make a long story short the car is lowered with tein s.techs springs when I whent to put these rims on the car the rims hit the inside of the fender well. I called them so fast it was like I had them on speed dial and he said because my car is lowered that is why they don`t fit and he sent me some spacers. The car rides funny now and the rims rubs when I turn real hard an hit hard bumps. I like the rims but I can`t live with car like it is because I know it ain`t right the rims are 17x8 45offset with 205/45/17 tires. Should I keep the rim`s and get 205/40/17 are try to sell them both.

the only time i had issue with rubbing on the back inside fenderwall like i assume u are having is with GT eclipse rims what are wide but its proly the 45 tire doing it but maby the offset on the rim isnt what it says.. better to check your self.

go with a lower pro tire and roll the fenders

roll the fenders I have 17x7 with a 225/45 tire and have minor rub with certain tires. I'm swapping over to a 215/45 this summer.

I have 215/45/17 on megan coilovers and it rubs when I make a u-turn. I had the same problem with my s-techs. I will just change to a lower profile the next time around and it should solve the problem. I ordered my Gramlights from tire rack and there calculations did not take into consideration the lowering. It is a problem with ordering online.
