my cars low, rolled and slightly pulled rears with around 2.6 degrees of neg. camber.

im looking to buy a set of 17x8 +30 wheels with 245/45/17 tires to use as drift spares, im needing to know if these will fit, if theyll rub, or if theyll be sunken.

any input would be helpful. im dyin for a set of cheap wheels to use.

I'm sure they'll be sunken.

I had 235/45/17 on my 17x9 +35 (to get a fitment idea) and the tire was a credit cards distance from the UN-rolled fender.

I think my camber was somewhere around -4

well these tires one size wider, and the wheels 5mm lower offset.

but i guess its somewhat of a similar fitment. im sure ill end up pretty close to my quarter as it sits now.

and thats hell of a lot of camber, man. haha

245/45 is alot of tire on a 17x8 wheel... be careful, because you know some tire brands run larger and smaller than others...

I just put some Falken 225's on my 8.5+27's today and they look like 245's compared to my old Yokohama 225's. If I was lower, I'm certain they'd be rubbing...

I'm betting yours are gonna rub. I hope I'm wrong though.
