lowered 1.6" will it fit ENKEI CDR9 With 215/45/17?
My 94 dx is lowered 1.6", I was wondering if i will have major rubbing issues with the ENKEI CDR9's, it has an offset of 40 and the tire size that it comes with is 215/45/17. Here is a pic:

there is no way 215/45/17 will not rub on your car with a drop

with a 40 offset it shouldnt rub on the inside, BUT with a drop it will definately rub against the fender.. rolling ur fenders might fix the problem

not really sure.

even with 205/40/17 you might need to get your fenders rolled because of the +40 offset

sorry cant be more help... hopefully someone else on this forum can help you out

you should be okay with a 42 offset wheel IF you have 205/40/17

i wouldnt reccomend any tire size other than 205/40/17 unless you have a seventh gen
