Notice TireRack and others offering 17x8" and 18x8" rims. Does anyone know whether these combos fit with body alterations? Also, how do they work with Eibach Pro springs?

Thanks.

Just read my post (yeah, would help BEFORE posting) and realized I left out a crucial word. What I meant to ask was whether these rims will fit WITHOUT body alteration? Sorry about that.

Thanks for the link, Igorminia--nice ride. However, the question I have is whether I could run the 17x8 with the stock body (did your body kit alter wheel-well dimensions?). Also, I didn't see lowering springs mentioned on your page--are you running stock suspension?

Thanks for the reply.

Igor, I did do a different search (I had run a search previously but hadn't gotten the information I was seeking)--looks like PTRedman is running 17x8's w/Eibachs with no problem. Thanks for the suggestion.

Have 17x8's on mine with Eibach pro kit with no problems...
Fills out the wheel wells nicely with no rubbing. Thing has a turning circle of a battleship with stock rims...

Hey Saki -

What size tire are you running on those? I eventually want to run a set of chrome MOMO Tuners on mine that are 18x8.

I'm running 225/40/18 BFG g-force T/A KDW 2 on 18x8 Mille Miglia EV-r wheels. 235's would've fit easily. Here's some pics:
