maclogos - i have the same set up. i have an SE and i have coilovers and camber plates. i have also done the RESpeed BBK (dont know if that makes any diff). i did lose some clearence when i swapped out to the coilovers. rims that i had on before started to grind on the springs. to answer your question... my current set up is 17x8 +50 et all around. i have a 38 mm spacer in the front to clear the springs. i might have been a little too aggressive with the front spacers. my tires are 205 which are too narrow (tires are stretched) but it works for the time being... my offset on the front is somewhere around 12mm. my guess is you can get somewhere around 15 to 20 mm of positive offset in the front and be fine. i just dont want to buy another set of spacers, they arent cheap! on the rear, i have no spacers and it fits perfect with a 245 tire.

 

I have Enkei 92's in a 15x7 size with +7 offset, and with 205/50R15 Potenza RE-11's they're flush with the fenders. I'd do some research on Rota wheels before buying...they're not the greatest wheels out there...

How real wheels fail:

Your car. Your life. Buy what you want, just don't come crying when your wheels fail.

 

^^ Wow. Duly noted.

 

So just are you using spacers on the front with a 20mm offset? I see websites that are saying 40mm to 32mm positive offset are direct fit. If i get a wheel that is 17x7.5 with a 20mm offset would i need spacers on the front? im not worried about tires right now cause i can always get that taken care of later. I was thinking of getting the rota rb wheels with a 20mm offset but just want to be clear on wether i would need spacers or not for the front and back. Thanks for your response.
