Borbet Type-E 17x8 + 235/45/17

[NotoriusCSR]

would borbet type E 17x8s and BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS work together on a SHO? also, i dont see a selection of tire width anywhere (8 in...) is that the 235 thing i see? and is 235 correct for an 8 in wide tire?

With a 8" rim you can go up to 245's.

I run the 17" x 8.0" 40mm offset Borbet type E with 245/45-17 tires on my '95. There is very little clearance between the rear tires and the rear strut tube. I may have to convert an old rear disc brake rotor into a spacer by cutting off the rotor hat and grindng it clean to gain about another 2mm of clearance.

With a 235/45-17 tire, this should not be an issue.
