Hey guys, i m looking to change my stock wheels out ASAP and i was wondering if any of you are using and extremely aggressive offset (low).

I have a set of 16 inch Kosei K1's that are about 14 pounds a piece. Only problem is that they are 32mm offset. I m installing a JIC coil over kit as well so i will be lowered.

Just wanted to get an idea of what you got going and how hard im going to have to hit the fender with a bat to get them to fit :eek:

damn, 32 offset. ouch. I don't know if I'd go lower than 38. But I don't have any aftermarket rims.

Wheel spacers? Will that help?

Yeah, thats what i m thinking as well, but dam, there is so much dam gap between the fenders and the tire it just may work. I guess i ll just have to try a 205 first and see what i can get away with.

Wheels spacers will do the exact opposite of what we need here.

The lower the offset, the more the wheel is pushed out towards the fender.

17 X 7, 38 mm offset, 215/45 tires, H&R Sport Springs (1.5" F, 1" R) No rubbing, looks good
