(Mods, sorry if i posted here, this is a specific question for 5th genners with similar set-ups).

I currently have 7.5"w +35 wheels and like how it looks in terms of track and width. (it's also tucked in just right, for me, under the fender).

I'm looking at 8.5"w +45 wheels as replacements and checked the calculator . It looks like the inside wheel will be 23mm closer to the strut housing while the outside will extend 3mm towards the fender.

I don't mind it sticking out a little bit more, but will that 23mm extension towards the strut housing be an issue, especially for the fronts?

I'm dropped on Maxspeeds by the way.

Thanks!

 

the wheel forum will have better information for any gen
