Default et37 17 inch are these ok for a saph

Is this offset right for a saph as i keep rubbing on my front arch and taking chunks out my tyres 215/40/17 ,is it worth getting the arches rolled aswell

mark i have looked on my old mans pal and the arch liners fit on to the lip of the wing so by having them roll you will have no where to fix the archs liners to mate, and as said your tyres are 10mm wider than my old mans as well mate

You can't compare offsets unless you're talking about the same width, I see the diameter mentioned but not the width! Having said that anything upto 8" width will be fine at that offset on a Sapphire.

I had this problems years ago and it ended up being the front bit of the metal arch where in lining bolted on.. Was a kinda rectangle shapped section with 2 square holes for the arch lining to hold one.. Just simply had the whole arch rolled and it solved the problem

Mine too, but mine is 2wd and my front arches are rolled, no rubbing at all.
