Anyone able to confirm whether 17x7.5 +43 will fit without any issues?

Tyres that will be used are 225x45x17

I'm running 225 track tyres with a 53 offset that are a hell of a lot wider than 225 road tyres as they are very square shouldered, so I'd expect that they would clear the rear guard lip. Go to the Goodwin Racing site as Brian has a list of what fits and what doesn't.

See the base of this page on my thread for pics of my NC wearing 17X8 +45 / 215-45 (couldn't get the Preceda in a 225-40). As you can see, there's plenty of room for me to run a 225 tire, and i know at least one other NC (lucifuge) on these forums running the same wheels, same size + offset, but with 225 tires. Depends on lowness.

I can't see any problems with 17X7.5+43 on an NC since you will have more clearance on the inside, and not sit out as far out on the outside (effectively 4mm less).

Can't help but ask.... what wheels, eh?

I have 225/50 Falken RT615's on 17*7.5 rims, with a +44 offset. Works well.

Thanks for the help guys, but i didn't end up buying anything.
