    everyone should post the offset of the wheel and if they had to do anything in order to make it not rub. wheel size, wheel offset, tire size, any body modifications, and alignment (camber).

    it would just make the thread more complete and help people to figure out what kind of wheel sizes we can run and what type of work you need to do to make it work.

    I think fitment is the same on the monte as the GP, but my rear struts had rubbing issues that I fixed with 1/8 wheel spacers.

    Quick question, is bolt pattern relevant? We all have the same hubs.

    some people are concerned that 5x114.3 will not work correctly. this thread should prove otherwise since a lot of people actually run them.

    17x9 AFS Bullitts +38mm offset wrapped in 255 45 17 nitto 555 radials on Eibach Springs (2" drop all around). Rolling of all 4 fenders was required for this setup along with minor mods to the plastic wheel well.




    I love how they only stick out a lil bit and clearly sit inside the fender lip now
