Hey guys

I'm looking at getting Japan Racing JR11's on my 2015 1.2 TSI Polo for summer. I'm just a little concerned about the big offset at ET35.

The wheels are 17 inch 7,25j ET35, and I would like to get 215/40 tires on them. I've found examples of some running 205 tires on them, but I dont like the stretch.

Is there any chance of them rubbing if I lower the car 25mm in the front, and 35mm in the rear?

Thank you!

I run 7.5J ET38 with something like 225/45/17 tyres, I've had no problems but then I never lowered mine because of work

I have 7.5X17 ET35 Wheels at 215/40/17 tyres and 5mm spacers at rear. Car is lowered 25/40mm and no rubbing issue at all!!

So I´m pretty sure your setup will work just fine!
