i would like to have my rims look flush with the rest of the body. right now i have 17x7s and they look like the are not pushed out far enough. i would love to get that clean bmw look.

what do i need to get this done? 17x8 rims? wheel spacers?

depends on the offset...... a 17x8 with the same offset you have now is only going to stick 1" more into the wheel well, not out....

Actually, wouldn't they stick out a half inch further on each side, since the offset is simply the distance from the center of the wheel to the rear of the mounting surface?
