Default I need some assistance!

I have an 03 Dodge Neon R/T and I bought 17 inchwheels for it andI was wondering if I could fit 205/50R17 sizetires on it with stock struts and not have clearence problems? I already have a 2 inch drop on the front and rear and Im really trying to fill in those annoying gaps between the fender and the tires

No it will not fit. It will rub the perch.

I had to put a 5mm spacer for my SRT tires today. Clear is just enough so it's fine.

Im running stock R/Tstruts on my car. Will I have to buy new struts in order for 50s to fit? or is there any otherway to get them to fit without buying struts?

well if u already have lowering springs, the stock struts wont hold for long, it would be smart to get aftermarket struts like the tokico hp blues, then u canprobly fitsome 50's on there since them struts are also used on the srts but it will mess with ur speedometer thing, maybe if u use spacers like adionik

Adionik, how much were those spacers you used for your wheels?
