Thanks for the link did calculations but I'm still a bit confused I got inner clerance11.75 mm less outer position by 51.75mm diameter difference -0.01" (0.03%) can you better explain thanks

 

You are gonna need to do some work to fit those specs.


First off. You suspension won't be low enough to fit the wheels properly. With Pro-kits, the wheels will stick out quite a bit. You will need to drop the car around 2.5" or more to get enough natural camber to properly fit the wheels. So you will need a set of coilovers to lower the car that much.

Secondly.....225/45 tires are WAYYYYYYY too big. You will rub like crazy, especially up front. You are going to want to run a 215/40 (little bit of stretch) to not rub. Also, a 215/40 on a 17 inch wheel keeps the overall diameter very similar to stock wheels, so the speedometer will read accurately. a 225/45 would throw it off quite a bit.

In addition, you will need to get your fenders rolled for extra clearance and decreased rubbing.


Here is a friend's car with properly fitted 17x9 +25 Rota Grids.

 

Nice thanks a lot bro really helped out now last question does it bottom out. Front fenders are rolled already cause in the past I had 8 1/2 all around with a 2.5" drop

 

If you have a good set of coilovers, it won't bottom out easily. They have increased spring rates to prevent that.

 

Thanks a lot really helpful.
