22's on stock suspension
#16
Ok guys, I may have given the wrong information. I took the rim off of the car and I was trying to find the word "offset" and didn't see it. But I have come to learn that the ET25 on the inside of them wheel is the offset. The other information came from a tire website that sells Savini wheels like mine as a set for my car with tires in a staggered set. I was doing an insant chat with the sales person and they said that my car would take a 30 offset in the front and a 35 offset in the rear. I did'nt check the front tire yet to see the offset because it has no problem.
I'm assuming that it's rubbing on the plastic beading that lines the lip of the fender because i had damage to the outside wall of the tire at the top.

Thanks, so I'm basically screwed. I brought the car from a dealer who sells high end cars with after market wheels installed already. You'd think that they would know. So my off set really this 25mm? Which is bad by what you guys are telling me? I like the way it looks now except for the wheel gap in the front and it looks worse with people in the back. Sometimes it feels too floaty and I'd like a little firmness like my bmw 535 I owned. My 02 s430 was less floaty, this is almost like a coupe de ville feel. Someone would make a lot of money if the could develop a stiffer stock rear spring and a true 1inch drop spring for the front. I guess I'll be stock and riding easy over dips.

Thanks for all of the advise guys, I guess I'll stay stock and ride easy with passengers in the rear. I don't want to by two more rims with the correct offset or spends thousands on air for my daily driven car. Maybe I can find stiffer springs from a different vehicle that I can use on my car. I was thinking about cutting the very top of the springs in the front to give it a little drop.

Just have the rear quarters shaved. Ask a couple body shops and find out how much it is in your area. My buddy did mine with a grinder and sealed it with under body paint. That should fix your rubbing at stock height. If not you'll need a narrower tire.
