is there any way that a normal 17x7 wheel will look flush with the body of the car? is there an offset that would do the trick, or do we need the right offset and wheel width ?

Hey Lagos
I have been trying to go for that look ever since I got my celica back in 99. I finally bought some rims that might make it work. waiting till friday for them to arrive. They are 18x8 with a 37 offset. I have looked everywhere for an offset lower than 35 but no one makes it. and the people that do make it are I think two pice (expensive) wheels. To get the flushed look I got all 18x8 37offset and then I'm gona add spacers in the back. my other option was spending $2500 for staggered offset wheels with no possiblities of rotating my wheels. I will post pics once I get the wheels on. Later, Lalith |
