drag does have some nice rims though.

bloodMoney, try out your friends wheels and see if it fits. I hope it fits, so I can go get my self a set of 17x9 wheels!

what are the chances a 17x8.5 with a +48 offset will clear?

not a chance, but with 15 mm spacers in front and 20 mm in rear it would be nice.

So has anyone tried 17X9 in the front? I'm thinking about getting a set.

just run +20 on the front and +15 rear with camber

Yep It's easy on me wallet.

alright i have a gt4, i ordered XXR 527s in gold theyre 17x8.25 with a 25 offset, do the rules still apply to the gt4s? it says 27 for the fronts with an 8" wheels, these are 8.25 so im assuming 25 will be just about flush but the rears will sink in? am i right? also im using 215/40s

Not really. You would be a LITTLE sunk in, but about a quarter inch at most, I believe. But remember, if you want it to sit flush on your wheel well, you will have to roll your rear fenders, according to the offset chart on the first post of the first page. Maybe this quarter inch might save you from having to do that. Or you could get spacers if you really want to look HellaFlush. Please post pics & reviews of the ride when the wheels are installed.

I'm trying to figure this whole thing out... but from what I've seen, for flush with a 40 offset rim (oem GT rim or Scion TC rim) I'd need a 25mm hubcentric spacer? Is this true? I'm slightly confused by the adding and subtracting thing.

You always want a higher offset in the front for example +20 FR and +15 RR

I'm about to buy a set of 18x9,5 +34 all around. The front will poke about 6mm right? Will it even fit? Need help here guys, otherwise I'll have to start looking for other wheels.

I hoping some can help me out fast. I am looking at a 17x9 wheels offset of +35, I want to know if these will fit with no issues. I'm not looking for Hellas flush etc.. Just not to have rubbing issues.
Thanks

anything wider than 8 with +35 will rub if you have OE shock design

Thanks man! You saved me much trouble.

I am so confused! Why doesn't someone just post a formula!?!?

I tried to make my own, did I do it right?

My rim specs: 18x7.5 +40 offset.

OP numbers:
Front: 7.5" ---------- et+15mm
Rear: 7.5" ---------- et-2mm

So what I gather from this is that I take (my offset)-(number above)=(Spacer size)

So
40-15=25------Front
40-(2)=42-----Rear

This seems wrong to me based on what Ive seen others post.....

Any spacer above 35mm is too big for our cars. Best bet is to get rims with lower offsets from the start like 35 or 30. But yes you are correct

Im looking at the XXR 527's, i was thinking doing the 17x8.25 +25 in the rear and Same size with a +35 offset up front.

I was contemplating going +25 offset up front but not sure if it will stick out. I have 17x8 +35 and they sit pretty flush up front. Any thoughts?

Last, could i get an 17x8.5 or 9 +25 in the rear?

hey .... yea im gong to get the xxr 527 17x 8-2.5 wide ..... with the 25mm off set ...... all around ... they will stick out the front a bit but not a big problem as long as you putt the right tire on ... im going to put ... 215/ 40 /17 or 215/45/17 not sure yet


this will help you with tire size these are 9 wide but they would be close to 8. 2.5 http://zilvia.net/f/wheels-tires/190094-fs...14-3-socal.html
