I am thinking of getting Black Racing Pro N1 Bronze Wheels and I wanted to make sure I maximize as much as I can with the offset. I have a drop of almost 2 in. Which would be best to have clearance without hitting the fender, suspension, or anything else. I've read the offset thread but that doesn't give me enough confidence. Thanks.

17x7.5 +35 or 17x8 +38 will be fine.

Here is your old listing. It says 17x8 +40 is the recommended. Would I be hitting anything or rubbing? Ideal Offset in Relation to Wheel Width (lower ride height): Width - Offset 7.0"-----36mm with 10mm spacer (effectively 26mm) * 7.5"-----33mm 8.0"-----40mm 8.5"-----46mm * 9.0"-----53mm (probably too wide no matter what offset) This post has been edited by trdproven: Nov 23, 2007 - 8:41 AM -------------------- 94 Celica GT
