Thanks

8 is about the limit, it does depend on back spacing~ but... expect rub. Some run 9 wide but they rub pretty bad

9 will work 9.5 will most likely rub. I have had 18/9 fr500 on my 93gt

Default Not the Best angle but a 17x9.5 w/Coil/O








Not the best angle but Its a 17x9.5 With Coilovers 300lbs springs it doesn't rub unless I hit a major bump. No inner fender rubbing. Secret to this is the Race Craft 2" drop Spindle. Changes the postion of the wheel Geometry and will clear the coil over. Most Cars with Coil Overs can't run 17x9 wheel because it will hit the strut.

my friend had OEM 03 cobra rims on his 90 lx, it rubbed but they fit about right where he wanted them. Didnt stick out (6.11 back spacing, so 9-6.11 = 2.89 front spaced)
