Hi

I will soon get my DF210 springs and in the spring I will buy some new wheels for my car.
First, which size are you driving when you have the DF210, so there will be no rubbing?

I have thought about 205/40-17 or 195/45-16/195/50-16.
Would that rub when I´m on DF210´s?

Also, which offset should I go for? I don´t know that much about offset and I have tried to follow the other threads.
I have found some Schmidt wheels 6,5x16" ET30, would that go or is it no go?

The other wheels I have looked at is ET40 or ET42.

DF210: First, to be safe, run ET42. With 17's, install 205/40's; with 16's, 205/45's.

so with ET42 and 205/40/17's there should be no rubbing with DF210 springs?

Hi Kimona

Thanks for your answer. So the 205/40-17 or 195/45-16 would not rub if I use ET42?
If I use the ET30 would it then rub on the fender edge or on the wheel well? I can´t figure out if a low ET, etc. ET30, would have the wheel closer to the wheel well or the edge?

the smaller the number the further out the wheel tire sticks,bigger the number the further in it tucks.

I have 17x7.5 with 42 offset with 205/45/17....I am stretched a bit with that tire and rims size...and I do rub on dip in the road in the front and once and a while in the back,the rubbing is on the plastic liner in the wheel well.I am gonna goto 40 side wall to get a bit more clearance from the wells.With DFs you will need to pay carefull attention to dips and bumps no matter what wheel tire you run.

I am on my 14" stockies now and my bigest problem now is with passenger in car I scrape over speed bumps if I am not going slow,and if I drop back tires off the bump going over it rubs my can.

Hi

So if I´m going for 205/40-17 it should not rub when driving normal.
What do you mean when you say it rubs if you drop back tires off the bump it will rub?
The height of 14" or 15" should be the same as 17" if you get the correct size tire, so should it only be the width of wheel that is different, or am I wrong?

Hi

Just to be sure, the tires won´t rub if I stick to 205/40-17 and ET42 with DF210´s?
Don´t want to buy a set of wheels that don´t fit right.
