kosei question

Here goes after doing multiple searches i really havent come up wih any conclusive answer. I am going to buy 17x7.5 kosei k1's +43 offset. I am getting 215/45/17 Falken FK-451 tires. Will i have any rubbing issues and am i going to need any wheel spacers? Thanks in advance

are you lowered? how much? if you are stock you will not have any issues but if you are more than an inch lowered you will most likely rub and if thats the case get a smaller tire

If you can adjust it, it doesn't matter. Just lower it until it rubs then raise it up a little.

I know that, but I was wondering where it will rub, the fender or somewhere else? Thanks

It should have enough clearance on the suspension as long as you don't have some silly rear camber setting. The only place it could rub is on the fender lip, but with 43s, it would have to be pretty low.

i have the Kosei K1 TS 15x7 with +35mm offset. runs great. need to roll the fenders(very flush)

i have the JIC with about 6 inch clearance(i think), look at my pics. i don't think my pics have the kosei
