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. Attached thumbnail(s)

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?

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.

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

QUOTE(wndsrfr @ Nov 26 2016, 08:25 AM) 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. |
