235 and 245 will definitely fit on a 17x8 wheel. I have 235's on my 17x7

they'll fit on the wheel no doubt about that, I was saying they'll fit on the car.

btw, the maximum recommended width for a 7-inch wheel is 225...

haha Great guys !!! Thanks!

Ok if i was after a set of rims 17x7 with 48+ offset, keeping in mind i will be lowering 1.5" - 2" in the future, how big spacers do i need to purchase to make it look agressive/flush and not rub guards?

thanks

Im lowering my celly 2 inches all around on coilovers, will a 17 by 7.5 with a 40mm offset running 205/40/zr17 fit on the car with out a problem?

[whatthe]

If i was going by a lower ride height, 17x8 with +30 offset will that look flush? (Well more after the wheels coming out slightly for a more aggressive look)
Eg.


From the first post its stated that +40 will look flush, anyone want to give me some advice?

for a look like that... you'll need some coilovers, slammed all the way, preferably something with adjustable camber so you can turn it all the way negative and have 15+ degress of negative camber... then you'll want some 19's with like a 245/25/19 tire. cut and roll the fenders, and have deep pocket books cause you'll need to replace those $300+ EACH tires on a weekly basis.

seriosuly though, for a very agressive look go with like an 18x8 + 30 then and lower it as much as possible and roll the fenders and you should have a pretty damn aggressive look like that.

my 17x8 +35's were perfect for me. if you go with an 18 and a lower profile tire, it should look awesome, especially lowered. I had tein S-techs, and I'm not trying to brag, but they looked perfect, just the right amount of drop on the right size wheels. you couldn't even stick 1 finger in between the fender and the top of the tire.

so, yes, 18x8 +35 should be awesome. for tire size, maybe like a 225/40/18

^ yeh that should fit fine, confirm with 6strings tho hehe

[Shigexile]

okay thats what i thought because the first page said so but there are ppl asking if +40 offset works and its giving me second thoughts that +35 is not gonna fit... silly me

[celicaxcore]

cool so um I'm car stupid, and I want to get a 17" for my ST. It has 15s stock, and is 7" wide, what offset would I get? My ride height is standard

[ej8ferio702]

ok guys i dont really know how to do the math to find out if the rims and tires im about to buy and install would look flush on my 94ST celica, ok first off i am lowered on df21o tanabe springs, 2.2 inch front and 1.5 inch rear, now im about to buy a 17x8 inch rims with 15 offset, what do you guys think? can somebody help? im looking to buy a set of rims just like the pic below

[Promasta]

with the 15 offset your fronts will be sticking out ~15mm past the fender
cause i have 17x8 +32 and it is damn near flush in the front

sp what offset would fit flush perfect with with 17x8 size rims?

+35 for fronts and probably +30 for rears

[trdproven]

that would work as long as the car is not dropped too low or you camber the wheels a bit. or fender roll.

it'll work without any of that. I have 17x8 +35 all around and there's still some room for something bigger in the rear. I've got tein s-techs btw.

something between a +25-30 would probably be best for the rear. or go with 17x8.5 with a +32-38 offset for the rear and the 17x8 +35 for the front.

Like i said without a drastic drop S-techs barely drop the car at all.
