will i rub?

im going to look at a set of 04 350z rims tomorrow with 225/50/17 up front and 235/50/17 on the rears.

my question is will i rub since the rears are a bit wider? im lowered on s-techs with agx's.

any input would be appreciated. thanks.

Why are you running staggered?

It's possible it might rub in the rear. I would get a different tire size since those will be a little taller than what they would be, and hence, that's why you might rub.

What are the sizes on these? Offset and width.

im not running staggered. i was only asking because there is a guy selling me all 4 wheels with brand new tires for $350. now if im going to run into problems then it wont be worth me getting the set since im going to have to spend more on a new pair of rear tires. i guess im getting lured in by the low price.

350z rims are staggered IIRC. Which car will this be going on? I know on my 18s, I was running 245/45/18 in the rear and I'd only rub a little going over big bumps.

this is going on my gen4 which is lowered on s-tech w/agx's. yes they are staggred. i believe they are 17x7.5 upfront and 17x8 in the rear.

its just one of deals that are just to good to pass up but if its going to give me problems i just might have to.
