I read a lot of debates over wheel sizes, will 17x7's fit well in the front with 17x8 or 9's in the rear? Also I am guessing a +35-40 offset for the front, what about the rear? I want to avoid the rear being in further than the front. Should I try to get 30+ in the rear? or stick with the same as the front and the wider wheel size will even out the normal differences between front and rear widths?

I want to order some rims ASAP, any help appreciated,

Set the front wheels to correct diamensions, then play around with the rear offset and width to make sure the outside of both are equal.

 

That thing seems pretty cool, I am still concerned about over tire issues though, but it helps with the rim issues.

40 is the stock offset, I doubt that an 8" would fit without dropping to a 30-35 offset

 

If you want to run the 8's in back, run at least +25 offset if you want them flush.&nbsp 9's in the back would be in the +15 offset range.

The set of rims that I am looking at now are 17x7.5`s what would/could i do to correct these? Would spacers just put me more in the wrong direction?

What wheels are they.....the offset depends on the type of wheel.

 

it should 17by8s. in a 40 series. i have seen that done before. def possible in the back!!

 

They are Arceo Dynastars, crome and I would prefer 7`s in the front and 9`s in the rear but most wheels I see have only one size in each diameter these are either 17x7.5 or 18.8

And I don`t think 8`s will fit the front, and once I order them, it`s too late.
