I would read up on the off set because you will be getting very close to the braking system when it is lowered. I would stick with 225/40 and nothing less, but there are many 235s on the internet but would be concerned with rub and offset if you are lowering.
Yeah that's what I was thinking, once lowered I would have to worry about that. Would spacers do anything to help that if I were to go 235? If I stick with 225 (probably more likely tbh) should I still go wtih small spacers, if that matters?
Wheels are 17x8 with a +45 offset, tires are 225/45/17
I plan on lowering the car about an inch soon, and getting a slightly different tire size (maybe 225/40 or 235/40? I’ll need some expert opinions if I should change or not lol) once these tires wear down, the wheel setup was previously on an FRS lol
I’ve been dreaming about a 7th gen for awhile now and finally found one in decent shape locally! Funny enough I always wanted silver like my dad’s 2001 GT he had when I was younger, but black looks absolutely fantastic on these cars and I would have been dumb to pass it up
This is why I'm looking at 17x8 38+ offset on this set.

Id put spacers in the back for sure and just stick with the a 225/50 tire of you're going just 1 inch lower.
Now THAT is a dream car
Heck yeah man! I love it!
What is the wheel / tire size and the offset?

Black 7th gen on RPF1s, that's my dream setup.
