17x8 35offset, rubbing issues?

Looking into purchasing 17x8 rim with 35mm offset, am I going to have rubbing issues? or should I just get 17x7.5 with 35-40mm offset?
Going to drop with B&G suspension kit...


Thanks in advance for any helpful input.

are you lowered a lot? 17x8 +35 shouldn't rub unless you're slammed and are using like a 245/40 tire

I know a +35 offset isn't low but being on 17x8 and at stock height you won't rub. Once you lower your car I would hope you would be having your fenders rolled/pulled or else your going to be ruining your tires and fenders. You can run camber or a stretched tire to avoid having to pull your fenders but if I were you I would.

I'm planning to use either eibach/koni together or B&G suspension kit(springs and struts). I know eibach would only be an inch drop and b&g would be 1.6".

Still doing research regarding rim width and offset in particular. Trying to have an aggresive stance and better handling.

Thanks for all helpful inputs....

i'll be honest with you whats the point of spending say approx. $600 on a spring/strut combo that you won't be happy with the sort of aggresive stance and still monster truck height of the corolla with each of those drops when you could spend a few hundred more and have the full adjustability of coilovers?
