Did you try contacting Discount Tire to ask for available offsets? You might also verify the bore size.

havnt yet i need to tho.....i love the look of them...what would be a good offset for a 89 TII?

that link is broken. goes to some BS popup type of place

anyway those are 17x9 +28. they also come in 17x8 +28. that would make a nice stagger on a stock bodied FC.

damn the link is messed up...anyways discount dosent show offset...so these would sit about right on a stock TII? front and rear?

8/9 stagger would be best for stock body. 9's all around will work, if you're into a small stretch.

when u say 8/9 stagger u mean 8"wide front 9"wide rear? im new to wheels...what offset would be good front and rear?

i wanna see some pics of somethin like this...

Josh18_2k

iTrader: (3)

looks like they only come in one offset: +28
and yes, that will be fine. 17x8 +28 front, 17x9+28 rear
run 235/40/17 and 255/40/17

whats the reason for the stagger?

Josh18_2k

iTrader: (3)

personal preferance? do whatever you want, i was just telling you what sizes were available, and what fits nicely.

JCurry

iTrader: (6)

do you have any pictures of what a setup like this would look like on a fc? with the +28 offset?

JCurry

iTrader: (6)

discount tires shows a 17x8 in a +22 offset and a 17x9 in a +27 offset...What should i go with?will a 22 offset look right front and rear? or do i need to stagger them with the 27 in the rear and 22 front?

i read as much of that thread as i could but theres too many different opinions and alot i dont understand...thats y im asking the specific questions of which would be better 22 or 27 cause ive never seen neither on a stock fc, and dont kno if they would fit right or not...i just want them to sit flush with the fenders not stick out...thats ugly

MB wheels are hella heavy and low quality. The finish just comes off in normal driving.

Josh18_2k

either 27 or 22 will work. your choice... you can fit all kinds of sizes and offsets to a car, but tire size is ultimately what determines 'ideal'

so- what tires do you want to use? your answer will tell us which wheel is best for you

It's pretty funny how people talk **** about items they don't own or that are inexpensive.
I have owned my MB wheels for almost 2 yrs and have had NO issues. The reason I purchased them was cause a friend of mine had 2 sets he used on his 240 for drifting and they held up to his abuse... No finish issues at all and the weight is on par with all other wheels that have the same specs. I a running 17x8 +22 in front and 17x9 +27 in rear. I had them on my 1st gen and now they are on my 3rd gen.
BTW... they are Made by A-Tech which is made in Japan and Discounttire Direct is the only US authorized dealer....

well its settled them im gonna get them...17x8 front and rear....i just need the proper offsets that im gonna need to run so they sit flush and dont stick out the side...
