Wheel Size 17x8.25 or 17x9.75?

[BoIzLocoKrazie]

Will 17x9.75 fit my 2gen without wheel spacers or will i need to keep it 17x8.25 wheels?

Neither will fit unless you run lots of camber.

How much camber will i need n degrees?

 

[Muckman]

Lots, Id say at least -5*. Best is to find someone online who has same size wheels on a similar car and compare their setup.

I have to ask, why are you wanting to go that wide?

To answer your question, it can be done, but not that size of a wheel. Maybe 15s and you will need to stretch the tires.

Why such large wheels?

Big wheels big Dick?

I had 17x8. Dropped 2.5 in. Rubbed on full lock turns and bumps. I also had a ok amount of camber.

What offset and tire width?

That's a 3rd gen. Running that much camber you're gonna have a smaller contact patch then if you were to run a less wide wheel and tire. But I'm sure this isn't for performance or you wouldn't want 17s.

If you want that size to fit you need to remove fender linings, roll fenders and probably pull them a bit for more clearance. I wouldn't add too much camber or you won't clear the inside.

 

[Muckman]

Me?

k: yes

 

[zack11122]

The width was 8. I don't know the offset. I didn't like them :lol:

 

[Muckman]

that was helpful

Anything over 16 on these cars is honestly too big.
