I'm looking at a set of Rota G-force wheels in a 17x8/ 5x100/ +48mm offset. I'm looking for a fairly flush look. So if I've done my research right that would mean that I would need an 8mm spacer (or as close as i could get to this) to bring the wheels to the ideal flush location. Just looking for some clarification. I'm really looking for a wheel that has some concavity to it. I don't want a wheel that is flat faced. Please let me know if i've done the math properly here, or if you have another wheel suggestion for me to look into.

these kinds of threads are starting to piss me off mad.gif It's like saying you want a 3sgte but you only have the valve cover from one.

1st use the search function there are SOOooo much threads about offsets and "wanting flush"

2nd any offset above +30 will not get you flush, better off finding different rims

3rd the biggest spacer you wanna run safely is 30mm

I've said before, rims you can buy with offsets closer to 0 the better off you are. You buy cheap wheel you'll end up hitting a pothole and the wheel failing on you like Jaws4God's DRag Wheels.

Get a rim with a better starting base offset, none of this Scooby super high + offsets.

An ideal flush offset is +20 to +10, now with that being said use some math or use the search function to find the wheel offset threads
