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 ?

,,,And pay special attention to the part about:
"If the offset of the wheel is not correct for the car, the handling can be adversely affected. When the width of the wheel changes, the offset also changes numerically. If the offset were to stay the same while you added width, the additional width would be split evenly between the inside and outside. For most cars, this won't work correctly. We have test fitted thousands of different vehicles for proper fitment. Our extensive database allows our sales staff to offer you the perfect fit for your vehicle." this is why you might want a wider wheel so the tire centerline stays as close to stock as possible as opposed to just getting a 7" wheel with a different offset. but, who knows, it may handle fine...also be aware it can put more stress on the wheel bearings and suspension parts when you radically change offset. you aren't talking about all that much change, just dont get crazy with it. |
