Alright everyone. I have found some Rota Torques in my area and am in the market for some rims and i love these. pretty decent price too! They are 17x8s with a 48 offset. Will these fit? and what will i need to make them flush. Ive checked the wheel offset guide in the stickies but its still pretty new to me so id like some opinions. here is the link for the wheels. Thanks in advance! rotas

+48? you are far from flush with that offset.

yes i figured this. what would i need to get them close to flush?

You would need pretty massive wheel spacers..
at least 25mm spacers up front and about 45mm in the rear

The general consensus is nothing over an inch (25mm) for spacers, as it messes with hub/bearings.

To be flush you will definitely will need spacers. The offset of my wheels are 48 too but mines are 8.5 wide.
I have 25mm on the back and 15mm on front but i could be flush on the back with 20mm ones because i had to put the camber 3.5 negative to clear the fender. With negative camber the lip of my wheels are only 1mm away from the fenders on the back. On the front i still have space so i could use a 25mm spacer instead of 15mm because i still have a 10mm gap between the wheels and fender. Front wheels dont have negative camber

You could be pretty flush with 25mm all around but remember each pair of spacers are about $100 so will end up spending $200 extra.

This is to give you and idea. As i said they are 18x8.5 48 offset with 25mm spacers = 23 offset with 215/35s on the back and is really flush and the front has a 48 offset with 15mm spacers =33offset with 10mm gap (not too flush)

My fenders are rolled btw

yeah i think ill pass on them. just too much extra work to put in with them. itll probably be best to find something more around 40 offset

you'll find alot of wheels that are 7.5 +40. even with 25mm spacers you still wont be flush. Look for some +22 wheels with widths between 8-9. Youll have to do less work with spacers, and you will have to roll your fenders
