Help!?! offset/spacer question

[Blooper0]

Im completely clueless on offset and if needing spacers...so bear with me.
Does anybody know if I could run this wheel size WITHOUT SPACERS?? 17x7 +15 5x114.3 ?
Help greatly appreciated!!

+15?
Hell yeah
That's pretty hard poke.
That's a tiny bit more than an inch of poke, from stock.
So they push more than a single inch wider.

Depending on the look you want, spacers are the opposite of what you need.
Unless you want super wide, if so I'd recommend getting wider wheels, not spacers.

Are you dropped?

1. Google "offset" you will be surprised what you will find. Always search and feed yourself as much info and learn about something before you ask a silly question that you your self can answer.
2. Search the suspension section. All you had to do is look through the very first thread in this suspension section for your answer.

This has been asked more times then i have driven my Ep.

it wont be that bad. its a 7" wide wheel after all.

8.5" +32 is flush
7.5" +25 or +30ish is pretty flush
7" +15 will probably poke a little bit.

personally i would go with a wider wheel... 17x8 +35 is perfect imo...

Oh I'm not saying it's bad, he was asking if it simply fit or if he needed spacers.
at a +15 you never really NEED spacers haha

What's about flush on a 9"

[Blooper0]

No not staggard.
It's just when it comes to Stance and being flush/hellaflush people generally are on wider wheels.

I got confused
If you can post a picture of a car with the same "fitment" you're looking for, I think we can give you a way more straight forward answer,

Damnit you are trying to go hellaflush haha
the 17x7 +15 probably wont be as aggressive as you want

Look through the slammed thread or the new wheel tire thread
The whole stance thing is very popular

depending on how much camber, and tire size you want to run, I'd get wider wheels
A popular stance size is 17x9 +22 (give or take)
Very aggressive, but it allows fr stretched tires, excessive camber, and uber slammage.

Hah.

lol damn i guess...so for a aggressive stance i will need my wheels to be wider? 17x8.5 +15 will that work still? lol
Sorry man just been thinking about getting my wheels done and shipped to me already lol

You know, I never FULLY understood wheel fitment, Untill I actually got wheels
I mean I saw pictures, and people here on ephatch educated me
But it's definitely not the same

Only You know what kind of fitment You can handle
I had a 16x8 +0 and that was definitely a learning experience for me

But I'd imagine a 17x8.5 +15 is much more stance-able

The biggest problem with 17x7 is that I you don't really have much tire options to stretch
Most of the stancers, get stretched tire fitments so I assume that is also what you're aiming for.
on a 8.5" you can stretch a 205, or if you're feeling tough you can try a 195 tire haha
