17"s on 2003 Corolla???

[markuswelby]

What is the biggest anyone has put on a 2003 Corolla??
I currently have 205/50-16s and was going to go to 215/40-17s.
i rub a little now, Hotchkis suspension and wanted to know if anyone else had some exp. with this.

get some spacers.. that should take care of the rubbing.

Northridge, California? That's where I am.

Anyway, I'm putting 17s on later this month. I've seen Corollas with 19s.

[Chris Corolla S]

spacers??

You don't need spacers, just the proper off-set.

I have 5+ guys with 17s on 03+ Corollas in my club and several off them are running Hotchkis springs and I have not heard of rubbing problems except with the guy who is running 18s...
You can cut/roll your fenders to get rid of mild rubbing.

If you guys are in Cali check out our site and maybe post your questions in the forum there: http://www.ncfour.com

Here is our President's car running Hotchkis and 17s:

my rubs and i have 215/40 or 45/17 tires with hotchkis springs.

but.. like chris said, as long as your offset is correct, you won't have any rub problems.

Ok, I am getting some Torque 5 17s later on this week. http://www.falkentire.com/wheels/tq5_infopg.htm
with 215/40s. I am hoping that they will not rub anymore than the 215/50/16s that i have now.
BTW, awesome suspension from Hotchkis and where did u boys get the carbon fiber hood, VIS???

[Chris Corolla S]

carbon fiber hood is at: www.vpower.net

chris you said that johnny is on hotchkis. he's actually running on progress springs.

[Chris Corolla S]

O really? I must have confused it because I know he has Hotchkis sway bars...

[boroEF]

definately do not get spacers!!! find out what offset those guys are using and stick with that. if u get spacers u'll rub ur fenders :p

[istylez]

yea he has those sway bars

[markuswelby]

Yea spacers seem like the wrong way to go. Generally, spacers are just so that the rims clear the brakes.
