Fit checked my PROPUS 17x7.5 rims last night under the 9 rear wheel well.
The PROPUS are ET43, and I've got Gil Racing 32/25 spacers....with the 32 installed in the rear and the car suspension loaded I've got about 40mm of vertical suspension movement until contact with the plastic liner, then steel. So the net ET is 43-32 = 11mm.
IPD rear sport springs. NITTO 225/45/R17s. Bils HD. IPD rear PH, already centered within a gnats a$$. 19mm factory rear sway.
Tonight I'll crawl under with the flashlight and see how much more inboard I can go. Probably fit check the 25's in the rear and see if it rubs.
Search haters, go ahead.... I know this topic has been kicked to hell and back on here, but the search yields nothing of substance for me....other than a Norway guy who recommended ET20~25 for that size tire/rim. If I have to, I'll have my machinist buddy cut them down to what is required.
I ASSUMED that Gil Racing intended the 32 for the rear....but he doesn't say. I'll fit check the fronts tonight with a 25 and that will confirm if I'm ass-backwards.
Thanks in advance for "constructive feedback". Haters, have at it
