Am planning to lower mine with new 17's. Any pictures of a saphire blue metallic/ blue sensation pearl to give me an idea on rim selection? Im thinking black or anthracite

sub'n to this thread... Just ordered new wheels and shoes looking for springs next. I have read so much about 17's with springs and rubbing issues and not having rubbing issues. I cannot find just a straight forward answer. Trying to decipher all these threads with the issue, and I always end up confused. I just ordered HD Clutch Wheels 17x7.5 with 205 40 R17s and I am needing to figure out if it is even a good idea to drop it. Any help would be awesome.

Offset dude, need to know it. You can't get a single straight forward answer because it all depends on the springs you get and how much of a drop they give. Also rubbing will depend HUGELY on the offset of your wheels. Lower the offset, more the wheels and tires will be pushed out toward the fenders, more likely you are to rub. It's all in the details. Just put on your new wheels and tires and then measure and see how much of a drop you can handle, then decide on springs. Could also roll your fender lips, this can help tremendously.

Sorry i was trying to find it and got lost doing something else. Anyway the website states that for this particular set of wheels the offset "range" is 35mm-45mm. I know thats a big difference but thats all the site gave me. I will call the dealer in the AM to get a better answer.

Thanks for your input though.

No prob. Just gotta find people who have done similar setups and see what they got away with.
