17x8 +30 offset sounds nice. the FC3S Pro chart is saying 225, so would 235 and 245 be too wide?

also my suspension is stock right now, but i'll be upgrading my suspension this month.

Here's their chart for the wheel:



sorry i'm a noob to wheels. my first pair of rims!

my co-worker just put a set of hyper black on his yellow mr2. they look nice.
the way he described them they change colors with lighting. he said it goes from a gunmetal to a silver look. and he said at one point they looked bronze, but i think they were just reflecting the yellow from his car.

Ok so make sure to consider whether or not you will be buying coilovers. That might change the offset a bit. If you don't get coils these wheels in a +35 will work fine.

With the 8" +35 you might hit the coils depending on which ones you get.

Run a 225/45/17 and a moderate lowering height. You should be good.

Worst case get a cheap 3mm universal spacer.
