Potential Rubbing Problems?

[GoNuts]

So, I'm thinking of running a 17x8.5 et40 with 245/40's. Will there be rubbing issues in the front? I am fine with rolling fenders, but don't want to deal with spacers at all. Anyone know if that set up will fit? Will be running with BC Racing coilovers, but never very low

Guess it depends on the wheels offset.

I run 95 M3 Motorsport wheels with 245/40/17s.
I get a little rubbing on the inner fenders lock to lock.
Nothing to be concerned about.
Plenty clearance of the edge of the fender even with H&R race springs.

That's a very common wheel/tire size combo. Having more negative camber will help get the tire away from the fender. I don't know if the BCs have tender springs or not but you may rub on the tenders if you don't run a spacer. Easiest solution is to throw away the tender spring and move the perch up.

This has been talked about before in other threads too.

Pretty sure that they dont have tender springs, but they do come with camber plates which is nice
