blitz 03's

I'm going to purchase these wheels soon. I want 17x8 or 17x9 all around.



17x8 = offset hi disc 35, 41 or offset low disc 32, 38, 45



17x9 = offset hi disc 22, 41 or offset low disc 32, 38, 45




What im am wanting is the deepest dish look I can get.
I'm not going to track the car. I will lower it someday. But no more than 2". So with size and offset would work, and not rub my fenders.

Also, what tire size should I go with.

Thanks in advance,
4rotors

You could start by telling us what kinda car these things are going on...
Your profile only says '99 Ford Ranger.

If you want big dish, get rid of all the "hi disc" options.

Not putting them on the truck. I don't even have that truck anymore.

Those sizes/offsets aren't really ideal. A low disk might not clear the front brake calipers, you'll have to talk to a GOOD Blitz wheel dealer to get that question answered. If they will fit, get 17x9 +45 all around.

Moving up to 17", I don't think there's a problem clearing the stock brakes.

None of the low disk 17" Volks will clear the RZ brakes, which stick 0.4" further out than stock 93-95 calipers. It's not a guarantee that a low-disk 17" will clear the stock 93-95 brakes. Just something to watch out for.
