I'm about to pick up a set of 16x7 +40 rota boosts with 205 50 r16 tires. I'm dropped on sportlines. will it rub?

 

Check the wheel forum now!

 

I'm at work and only have my phone internet it won't load all of it

 

Check out my profile albums, I've got a drawing of that wheel with the offsets posted there.

 

I'm sorry but I don't know much about suspension and rims. Im more of an engine guy. so I can't really tell what that diagram is showing. it doesnt help that by the time I zoom in on my phone its to blurry to make out. but I simply need to know if I'm going to have rubbing issues. thanks for trying to help with the diagram though

 

Short answer is yes...

 

Short answer is yes they will work...no, they won't rub...

they will be sticking out about 1/4" over stock.

 

thanks a lot man. ill be sure to make a thread of my rim and roof rack install goin on tomorrow

 

Do it man. i think ive decied on getting 16x7 +40 too. post up them pics when you get it installed!

 

if the difference in offset is directly correlated with how much more the rim is going to stick out its a bit over half an inch going from the stock 53 to 40

 

i got the rims on i cant get any pics yet but ill make a thread on that soon but the rims fit fine. they are suuuper flush. the only issue is a bit of rub on big bumps. but they look sweet

 

nice! let me know once its up!

 

I'd say so, very good chance of rubbing..
We have installed more than 50 sets of alternate wheels/tires on FITS AND THE RULE OF 45 MM MIN OFFSET AND MAXIMUM 205 TIRES UNLOWERED AND 195 LOWERED ON TIRES NOT OVER 24" DIA UNLOWERED GD9 AND 23.5" FOR LOWERED OR GD8 KEEPS OUR RECORD OF NO RUBBING INTACT. I have a sneaking suspecion that those guys outside those limits are not quite truthful. Doing any mods to suspension, fenders is not allowed here. Our customers want to maintain their trade-in value. Any of those mods will drive an appraiser into writing your car off as a trade-in or reduce your trade-in value enough to pay his dealer rates for repairing.

 

Just for informational purposes...

I have 16x7 +45mm on 205/50/16's lowered with Swift Springs and have ZERO rubbing.

Maybe you could find some rims in +45 that you like?

 

I have 16x7 +40 with 185/55 on mine with dropzones with only the slightest rub on really hard bumps. Like the kind of bumps you normally try avoid but only hit when you dont know the road and its really dark.

 

Exactly right, I have 16x7 +43 with 205/50 and sportlines and camber bolts and had to roll the rear to stop rubbing, I still rub in the front daily when hitting dips, etc.

I don't know what these others guys are smoking but this wheel and tire combo with sportlines will rub, period.

 

I put the rims on and only rub when I hit a bump that's inclined such as a railroad track. Even then its just thr slightest bit. No camber bolts though. My camber actually is perfect without them. I took a mini photodhoot at work today so once the pics get uploaded and edited ill make a thread.

 

how big of the drop do the dropzones give you? I'm thinking of getting T1R springs with 16x7 +40 with 195/50's

 

here's a pic of the front and rear




Im not positive of the drop that they gave me. They are actually a GD spring and not a GE spring. I am gonna be swapping them out before next spring for a full coil over set up though. I want more adjustment and alil more tune on the dampening. I am also running a 5mm spacer in the rear and may bump that up to a 15mm to allow the wheels to poke in the rear as they do in the front.

 

ooo pretty low'ish..I think I should be okay with the T1Rs. They're pretty stiff and the 195s aren't that much wider than your 185s. Thanks!~ +rep!
