after reading many many forums and feedback, i'm still left with questions. I'm looking to replace my stock aluminum slotted 15x8 wheels and tires and am wanting to go to 17" wheels.
My question is around fitment. I know factory is a 4" backspacing and to accomodate wider wheels, i've relocated the Ebrake cable already.
What i'm looking at is going with 17x9 all the way around with a 5.25" backspace. I'm thinking this would require me to use a 1" wheel spacer at least in the rear to prevent it from being tucked in too much. For tire size, i'm looking at 255/50-17 which would keep me right at factory height, but wider.
Any comments on if this would fit all the way around ? or would i have to use a narrower tire on the front ?
Thanks in advance.
