Are you rolling the arches and cutting the rear bumper tab?

What tyre size?

If you going with Slipstreams then you ONLY have one offset choice on those sizes. 17x8.5" which is 35 and 7.5" can only be had in et45.

If you run 8.5 et35 then you will sit 1mm further out than me and im rolled and pulled. You would rub.
