ABT wheel 17x8 ET38

[GTIandMCS]

Hello, I need some help from you guys. I have found a set of used ABT rims which is 17x8 ET38 from an Audi car. I shall be using the 225x45 tyres. Will they rub the fender? By the way have not lowered the car and here are some photos. Thanks in advance.

if you're not lowered, you probably wouldn't rub.

I've heard lower than a ET in the 40s is bad for our cars.

i have 17x8's with 225 45 tires and i am dropped. my offset is 35. i still dont have any problems with rubbing

NewaveRide what suspension are you running?

why is that?

Apart from possible rubbing issues, dramatically changing your wheel offsets can increase the loads on bearings, axles, suspension joints and steering tie rods. Quote taken from Apextwin :respekt:

im running the H&R sport springs.

as far as the offset, i got mine from tire rack, i havent had any problems and the rims have been on since i got the car. i dont know how true that really is but my rims fit perfect cause of the offset
