is anyone running
17X8 wheel front.
17X9 wheel rear.

I already ordered my wheels but I can have them change the offset if I let them know by monday.

I picked +35 offset for front and back. now Im starting wounder if they will fit with out spacers!!!

the front is what Im most worried about.

so is anyone else running 8's inthe front with +35 offset?
I know our stock wheels for turbos are
16x7 +40 ( 177.8mm / 2 ) +40 = 128.9
so
17x8 +35 ( 203 / 2 ) + 35 = 136.6
and the differce is 7.7mm or .30 inch

what do you guys think problem or no problem ?????




now the rear
17X9 +35 ( 228.6 / 2 ) + 35 = 149.3mm
Im sure they will fit no problem becuase
FD wheels will fit in the rear without a spacer
16x8+50 ( 203 / 2 ) + 50 = 151.6mm

I really dont want to run spacer

I don't know the answer for you but I was thinking of getting the same size rims and running some 275s in back and 245s in front. Is this what you plan too? What rims did you order? I want the racing hart cp-035s. If someone can answer this it will help me out too. Thanks.

Won't 275/40/17 fit on 17x9" rims pretty well? I would like to have some fat tires in back definitely.

here is some recommend wheel sizes from yokohama
bold is what they recommend the others they say it will fit.
225/45ZR17 7 71/2 8 81/2
245/40ZR17 8 81/2 9 91/2
255/40ZR17 81/2 9 91/2 10

I could not find a 275/17 in the A048 so I cant help you on the rim size.
