ok i have a 88 t2 and was wondering if you guys thought 17 x9 on the back and 17x8 on the front with a +35 offset would work with stock suspension.

if not what would be the offset i would need to go with in order to run these sizes. i dont want to use spacers and he +35 is what i was told a while ago but i just want to make sure before i buy some rims.

 

so no one can chime in on this?

 

lets try this what rims and offsets are you guys running with out spacers

 

I have 17x8 +35 all the way around on stock suspension. They fit just fine with no issues. When I change my suspension next year I plan on running spacers in the rear to flush the wheels out a little because I don't like how it looks now.

I know more now than when I bought them and I wish I would have gotten 17x9 or better yet, 18x9 in the rear. I'm not an expert, but from what I've read on here you could probably go lower offset in the rear without issues as well.

 

does anyone think that a 17x9 will fit all the way around with a +35 offset i have major doubts about this but thought i would ask because im not big on rim knowledge.

 

Not with stock springs... Even an 8" rim @ +35 will be close depending on the tire size.

Ted's guide above is pretty spot on allthough it varies some depending on ride height and camber.

 

thanks so much that helped me out a bunch
