6 Attachment(s)
so i finally settled on a set of wheels that i want to get and are in my price range. im getting some 17 inch 5Zigen FN01R-C's. i know i want 17's and wide rim prob 10 in the back and i need help deciding if i should stagger for the front and i need help with offset.
i really like the look of a lower offset such as some of the pictures i will post bellow. anyone can throw there 2 cents in and i know im prob gonna get flamed for not searching but whatever lol. any help of input is appreciated.

ok thanks Tim. i really want to get really good wheel fitment and i know having that big of wheels i will prob have to pull or roll my fenders or get camber plates.

here is the wheel offset calculator that I used, of course you need to know all your stock specs and the new specs. Remember to watch out for the front coil spring as it usually "grows" as it heads toward the strut tower, that clearance is the critical one as you can't "roll" the spring. Of course you could always go to a coil over setup to gain some inner clearance.

You will need to stagger.

Front: 17x9", 44 to 50 offset, 255/35 or 265/35 tires
17x9.5", 50 offset, 265/35 or 275/35 tires

Rear: 17x10", 44 or 45 offset, 285/35 tires

Those should clear without rolling. If you are lowered, then it probably won't. I'd ask in the wheels/suspension section for guys that are actually running those sizes.

ya I will have to post in that section. I'm not to worried about pullingthe fenders and I know that with that high of an offset as your suggesting David that the wheels won't have that concave look that I'm trying to achive
