Rims question

Ive seen some of this already answered but I'd like to check to make sure for my situation, would a set of 4x100 rims with 17"x.7.5 fit a ce Coupe 1999 model? And what is the max size rims that can fit on a ce Coupe and can a 4x114.3 fit?
 
Hey mate, So the CE coupe's will be a 4x100 stud pattern. I had a set of 17x8.5 previously with a stretched tyre. Regardless, 7/7.5/8 are all common widths for this car. You may potentially have to roll fenders on a 7.5 setup depending on the offset, but they should fit just fine. Really up to you if you want a flush fitment, want to roll guards, or do some suspension trickery. A 205 profile tyre will be your best friend for a car putting down stock power, even with a basic engine swap or modifications.

Yeah the offset for the tires are 40p, think that's too much? Since I've seen some saying 35 and 30 are the best for fitment with law n all
 
I run a plus 40 on a 7 inch rim zero clearance issues, scrubbing or clearance issues. 30-35 may be a slightly better fit on a 7.5. But it's probably worth throwing them on to see how they fit. If you get front camber bolts ($30), you can dial in the front, and then align the rear with the rear camber alignment

Ah yeah where do u find the front camber bolts for $30? The ones I see are $40+

Hey! I tried to squeeze some 17” 215mm/45% on my CE coupe and it did unfortunately scrub the wheel well just a little with the wheels at full lock, and the tyre guys couldn’t let me drive away with them on haha. Doesn’t scrub on the fender and the fitment looks really good, but I will have to make some modifications to the wheel wells

Ive previously had 17x7 +40 with no issues. It sounds like the offset might be too high on the wheels causing it to scrub at full lock. You might get away with getting a 205/40 size tire instead.

Yeah I agree. Because the rims were almost too wide to fit on the stock wheel studs, we had to use really long hollow wheel nuts to be able to tighten them So yeah the wheels had too much of a positive offset for the size.
Also are you meaning your size was 17x700mm?? A little confused with that haha sorry.

My wheel size was 17 inch and the width of the rim was 7 inches
