Also, take some time to look at the "official tires thread" to get an idea of sizes that can work, or go to rimsntires.com and check the size comparison tool. Lots of good info to be found on that site.

ok im lowered and my car is in the shop at the moment but i have been slacking on fixing my rubbing issue. im on r17/40/205. is the rubbing on the inside or outside? basically im asking if wheel spacers would fix this. also a side note, why are they called crash bolts?

I suppose I should clarify: my racing tires are BFG Rivals (205/50R15 on 15x7) and under HARD cornering I was getting a tiny amount of fender rub on the outside shoulder. There is also some frame rub in full lock turns, but those are only ever at parking lot speeds. My street tires are Direzza DZ101s (205/50R15 on 15x5.5) and I've never had any rubbing issues. I can't say for certain if it's the wheels or the tires that are the cause, but the race tires are almost an inch wider at the tread. I would avoid wheel spacers unless you confirm that you have the fender clearance for them and you're hitting either the suspension or the frame.

As for crash bolts,
