I think 7.5 on a 40-45 mm offset, but it ALL depends on the offset

I've got 17 x 7.5 rims with Ground Control coilovers almost as low as they will go and I do not rub. Of course I am running 215/40 tires so that is helping me out. I will see if it still rubs when I go with 45 series on my next set of tires.

I'm running 18x8's with a 40mm offset, the tires are 225/40's. I have H&R springs with Koni shocks. They rub on the rear fenderlips, even though they're trimmed back. They also rub on the mounting ear for the rear bumper. Up front, they rub the fenderliner a little. All of it to me is tolerable. I wanted to try to fit an 8.5, but I think that'll have to be a custom made wheel (ie HRE, Fiske, etc, etc.).

I have 17X7.5in wide rims, 45mm offset, which tucks them in. I am going to try to squeeze 235's on next time my tires are up, I'm running boring 215's now.
