okay i'm getting rims soon

the factory wheels are 15h"-6w" 45 offset

the rims i'm looking at only come in a 45 offset

Rota C10 17h"-7.5w" 45 offset (w/215 45 17 tires)

will my stance move inward or outward w/this setup??

thanks in advance

Both...

That rim will be 3/4" further out, and 3/4" further in. I've seen people on this board running 7.5" wide rims with a 32 offset, which, by comparison, would move everything out 13mm (about 1/2").

I'm not sure, but you might not have enough room on the inside to add 3/4"......

I'm running the Rota Subzero's 17x7.5 45 offset with 215/40's amd have no problems whatsoever.
But Lanny is right. It will do both.

That's great, because in my opinion, a 45 offset would look better on the car, because it won't stick way out, and more importantly, you're not adding extra stress on the bearings/suspension.

Yea, it tucks inside the fender. A little bit farher than stock but it's all good. It is a totaly different car with wider rims and some meaty tires.

I could run some spacers w/these rims if I would like them at the edge of the fenders??
