SIZE OFFSET DISK HOLE P.C.D. PRICE

Ok so what you want is 8.0" +33 to clear coilovers if you get them in future. For the 9.0" +38 is the offest you will use.
You can run 235/40/17 front or 225/45/17 and 255/40/17.
If you don't have coilovers use the 225/45 front so that your tire diameters are even with the 255/40.
BTW, WE HAVE PHAT DEALS ON GRAM LIGHTS AND I KNOW FITMENT VERY WELL. Let me know if you're getting new wheels.
These are not the club prices but you can see what we gots.

Hmm, we have coilovers on the FC already. Tein HA's. We want a awesome angled look with the wheels so we really want to get the lowest offset possible when using stock fenders. So Rishie, your saying we cant go lower than +33 offset in the front and +38 in the rear? We would really like to get lower if possible. BTW, yes we are getting new wheels. Thanks.

Ok so if you want that "angled" look do you mean "stretched" tire? If so then we must begin over again. Please show me here or email me pics of tires stretched on wheels that you like and i'll tell you what you'll need to get. Keep in mind this only looks good when dumped and can be increased by running more negative camber as well. Do your HA's have camber plates?
Your tolerances for the "stretched drifter" or "VW euro" look are very fine. There is more science to that than even specifying a fitment for the many grip vehicles we offer. That's a much simpler science in my eyes.
If you can please email me sales@autornd.com. Might make it easier. The fitment I recommended above is a standard fitment.
If you want stretched tire I have some simple suggestions and more questions.
Thanks, Rishie
