Crimes Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 i'm ready to buy the koni inserts and most likely epic springs for my 05 lgt but id also like to order rotas with them. my question is for anyone who has this specific or similar suspension setup, what is a wheel size that will sit nicely, i intend on getting and offset or spacers any answers would be great thanks!

robitrice Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 get the right offset and i would think any 17 x 8/8.5 wheel will fit fine. 18x8+ might require a slight fender roll depending on what tire sidewall thickness you use. I know i wont ever get 18's cause cause the roads here suck so i can run a beefier sidewall and not ruin the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangendsley Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have 17x8 and love the fit Rots G force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneskiian Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 18 X 8 (not sure of offset) Prodrive GC5's here on Koni inserts and Eibach springs (pretty much the same as Epic's). No fender rolling needed. Plenty of clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimes Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 was there any change with the ride height with the 18's? and do you have a photo i could peek at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangendsley Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Not all 18x8 tires will fit without body work. My 225 x 45 x17 star specs barely fit my 17x8 rims against the strut. i have very limited clearance between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_KT Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 My car is currently setup with the following: * Koni yellows with iON springs * Prodrive PFF7 18x8 et51 with 225/40/18 tires * Measured height (bisecting wheel) from ground to wheel arch molding = 25-9/16" front * Measured height (bisecting wheel) from ground to wheel arch molding = 25-1/2" rear No rubbing, no spacers, and a pleasant ride. I was running Cusco Zero-2 coilovers prior to the Koni/iON combination and had roughly the same measured heights. No issues with the Cuscos with regard to rubbing.
