Title: 2 17x9 roh snyper 4 lug
Post by: Score602 on January 25, 2013, 01:07:33 PM
Just boaught a set of snypers 17x9 4 lug, anyone willing to trade 2 17x9 for 2 17x8?? The 9 inch rims fit the rear great but rub the strut in the front, I would put a spacer in but it sticks out past the fender and looks nasty... So if anyone has a set of 17x8's and want a staggered look with a nice fat tire on the rear let me kno!!

Could you just run a smaller tire ?

If it's that close you might be able to get away with slotting the strut at the upper spindle mount to gain some clearance. You will have to have some camber adjustment left and make a trip to the alignment shop. If it works I would also weld some washers on the strut so that it can not move back.
