hey guys I just got a set of r33 wheels, it’ll be a squared set up. The specs are 17x9 +30 all around
Right now I’m running coilovers and I’m pretty low, I also have 20mm spacers all around with the stock 17x7 +50 on Yokohama ascend GT 215/45r17 tires. And yes I had to roll the fenders quite a bit to not rub. I’m also running camber control arms that have just a bit of camber on them for handling.
I’m going to use the same tires, maybe run 225s in the future depending on how they look but do you guys think I should take the spacers off before taking my car to put the r33 wheels on?
This is how it looks on stocks right now btw

UPDATE: for anyone who wants to fit them in the future,
I had to stretch my tires, recommended tire specs for 17x7+30 r33 wheels are 235/245 45
Here’s a lil pic of how they came out. I had to roll the back as well.

If you want correct camber, then yes take off the 20mm spacers. Adding 17x9 +30 wheels to 20mm spacers is essentially like having a wheel that is 17x9 +10. Unless you run crazy (double digit) camber, you will not fit that nicely. Otherwise, they should fit pretty well. Or just, you know, throw them on and lower it onto a piece of wood?

@romroj I've got a set of R33s coming soon. Gonna try and fit 245/40/17, in your opinion do you think I could make it work? Also what lug nuts did you go with.
Your IS looks amazing!

Did you get these powder coated? The finish looks like a dark chrome.

Sorry for the late reply, I went with 12mm-1.5 glossy black lug nuts and I think they should fit fine, the stock r33 wheels run 245/45/17 but double check with your local tire shop! And thank you shoot me a shot once you put yours on!
