    Hey all, I was thinking about going with 17x8 bs is 4.5" w/ 245/45's...I measured it up and it seems pretty close to the upper control arm. I could just stick with 17x7 with 4" bs. I was wondering if any you you run this set up. I rebuilt the front suspension and lowered it by cutting one coil off. For the rear I was thinking 18x9 5.25" bs w/ 275/40s. What are your thoughts?

    The biggest issue you will likely run into is tire rub. It can be on the inner fender or on the suspension components. Do you have access to a tire and wheel combo that you could install to test fitment?
