is there any way that a normal 17x7 wheel will look flush with the body of the car? is there an offset that would do the trick, or do we need the right offset and wheel width ?

[right][snapback]217099[/snapback][/right] I think those are a bit too big... I would go with a 40 series tire... but a 225/35 will be closer to the correct diameter. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
