yeah tires will be fine

spacers are illigal in some states

i wouldnt worry about the 8mm on the rear, just run a bolt on up front

or get the gktech spacers that come with bolt and slip ons to get the perfect offset

Thanks guys for the help, I guess I will look into running spacers on the front rims.(only coz I can't afford 1k for new rims right now)..with the 17x9+38 on the rears I prob have like mayb 5-10mm space between strut and inside tyre wall, so not sure if its worth the extra $200 to shift the rim 8mm outwards lol I guess I will try to find out if spacers are illegal in WA before i do anything , thanks again :)

Ok, so i spoke to my local Ttf store and they suggested that 235/45/17 tyres would be good on a 17x8 rim as on the 9" rim they are stretched and that's bad for traction/handeling in awd? Does offset change if I go down to a 8inch rim? Cheers

Ok last night had the best idear and put some 20X11 + 13 on the rear of my m35 axis but even with the 6 deg of camber I got its still going to need a little bit of guard work

Not 100% about using that 11" wide as don't think there is anyway I would get them on the other end

Didnt you say in the other post you have a wobble in rear end. Could tyre width have something to do with it?

Ok ATM I have 225 tires on both the 8 and the 9" wide rim both 45 profile

So if I keep my rolling diameters the same I should be sweet??

    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!

    • It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it
    • More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in
