if you have aftermarket lower control arms there is no need for the quads

Any 17x8 Cobra R Silvers out there? Anybody?

Should I be using 8's only up front?

^not sure if they make them in 17x8"

The 9" might rub in the front when turning sharp also, my 17x8s rub the control arms when turning lock-to-lock for some reason.
