Just like the title says. Will they fit in front without spacers? About to buy some Euromeisters. I can get 25% of today. Use code Krmr at Automotion for 25% off $350 or over.

Does the extra scrub radius suck when parked so I should stick with 7's?

I have steel AA flares.

John, I don't know about the 17's but I'm running their 16x8's on the front with a 25mm spacer. I have 16x9's on the rear with a 10mm spacer. My flares are glass. Don't know of that helps.

That does help Rick. Thanks. Did you add the spacer for looks or because they rubbed on the inside?

This is what I'm running with AA flairs
Fikse FM10's no spacers
8x17 5-130mm (19mm) 225x45x17. 235 also fit
9x17 5-30mm (6mm) 245x40x17. 255 rubbed when hanging corners

extra scrub radius does suck when parking and low speed maneuvers. Tiny steering wheels make it worse. It will also effect your overall handling. All depends on your setup.

Is it a PITA to turn the wheel when stopped?

Posted by: Steve Nov 25 2016, 03:23 PM

225's aren't bad. 235's were worse.

With 225x50's they rubbed on the strut

Thanks for the info guys. I bought them. Now I need to sell the pair of 16x7 Fuchs I have no need for.

Rick, what size tire are you running on the rear and did they rub on the trailing arm without the spacer?

I'd ask them for the 100 percent discount they indicated...

I wish I had more coupons to approach 100%. I felt pretty good getting close to 50% off. I'd be lucky to get one 9" Fuchs at what I paid for an entire set of Euromeisters with lugs shipped to the house. After I sell the 16x7's I can get some tires.

I wanted to keep the 16's but there was only 3 tires to choose from in a staggered set. With the 17's I have close to 40.
