17 in wheels

i did do a search but cant find anything this specific. I know 17 in wheels are light but increase the gap between wheel and fender. But does anyone one know if tein s tech will close that gap enough to look better than stock? pictures would help thank you.

So if you put 17" wheels, and want to run the same rpm's and speed, just put on the tire with the same rolling diameter as OEM 225/45r18 of 801 revs per mile.

I like to put smaller diameter, but if you want the same its about 225/50r17.

Look these things up in the TireRack specs; it gives the rolling revs per mile on every tire.

Easy as pie!

My 8 was at minimum low specs for some unknown reason which are 14.1 inch hub to fender lip in front and 13.9 inch hub to fender lip in rear so measure and study first.
