Hello all. Well next summer I will starting a new project. St202c and the theme Im going with is Sport/Luxury/VIP. I plan on doing a custom bodykit, maybe slammed, stretched tires, and cambered out(still debating). I was wondering is it possible to get a deep dish style rim for our cars, like u see with many drift style cars and vip cars? i want to stay at 17" and if possible keep a the same lug spacing. But I also want a flush look. Look for specific numbers if all possible.

17x_ 100x_
Size width lug offset

17 x 8.5 or 9 5x100 +20 all around. So say you find rims you like in the width i suggest you get but the offset is 35+, get a 15mm spacer to bring it down to +20 total offset

With this offset you'll have to roll and slightly pull fenders with "good" camber

Stretch the tires 205/45/, 205/40, 215/45, 215/40.....which ever tire size is cheaper and easy to find for 17in rims

as far as rim styling Work Varianza TS1 Black Chrome or Black polish is what I have my eyes on, its the ultimate VIP look on Sport body designed cars. Only down side is NO 17" size available.

So sizing for an 18" rim, my choice would be 18 x 9.0 (you can get your choice offset, I wont give you my specs wink.gif ) They have a Deep Disk/Rim or O-Disk option with a full range of offsets to choose from and an A-Disk/Standard Rim. A 19+ offset will give you an 89mm Lip. Go ahead and check out Work Wheels USA, they have a PDF rim option size chart for you to look at.
