unless your planning to put a set of extended fender flares there is no way that those offsets will fit on the car........ max you could maybe go on a 9 inch rim would be about -12/-13 in the back, even then its pushing it


here is your visual.

thanks I was going thru the offset calculater & it was saying that it was going to extend like 56mm. Wich is quite alot. thanks for your input.

[woggin]

i calculated on a standard 225/60/14 size tyre, 2inches is the distance from the rim to the outside edge of the flare! so 56mm is too much, unless guard modification is done, and the 9-13 is still ridiculous, i have already measured and asked about it, they would scrub with most tyre choices, for the rear, not the front! the 8.5"+4 is the go!!

[Cap'n 2jz]

0 offset rims fit nice on our cars.

[williamb82]

run the 17x9 -13 in the back and a 17x8.5 +4 or the 17x7.5 +4 in the front.

[7mgt-66e]

run the 17x9 -13 in the back and a 17x8.5 +4 or the 17x7.5 +4 in the front.

Agreed on this setup.

[love2smoketires]

Nice!! Thank you so much for your opinion, input & clarification. I found a set of 17x8.5 +4 on (ebay) $375.00 plus $45.00 ship. but they only have 2. :(, Its a start At least I Have a good Idea on wich set up to keep my a eye out.

[williamb82]

if you find someone wit hthe 17x9 -13 in gunmetal centers lmk. i want to buy those for the rear and 17x7.5 +4 with gunmetal centers for the front and then run 235/40/17 front and 275/40/17 rear.

[jrok]

on the front is tight with 16-8 with 245/50/16 is as wide as you could go on the front with 0 offset

[love2smoketires]

You got it. ill let you all know. & thanks for the tire size input that was going to be my next question.

[williamb82]

for you you might was 225/40/17 front and 255/40/17 rear. the 275's in the rear on those rims with that offset will be VERY close to rubbing and might reguire a lil trimming on the inside of the flare.

I have 17x9+0 and 25mm longer control arms so i lost 25mm of clearance. fender mods. flare mods. camber. 215 45 17 bridgestone re050. 45-50 degree steering angle
rear are 17x9-25 for now...until new lips are made

[VILLEN]

wow
this is nice setup)))

I have all four watanabe 16x9.5 -19 - back feet PERFECT, just as it was supposed to be by designers i think, front stick a little - for 10-15 mm out of fender lip, but this makes car looking 'Stronger' ))
earlier in front were 16x8.5 - 6 - that was good, but i think the best fit is 16x9 -13

Difference 16 and 17 is negligible

This is exacly the look that im looking for on the front & rear of my mkii!! Very nice. Any more Pic?

[love2smoketires]

Willianb82 This is the closes that I have found so far On Ebay. What your opinion on this set up. thank you & everybody that have put there input on this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130295073813&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNAFP:MOTORS:1123

[BillyM]

Those'll look about like my brown car's shoes.

...no stretch, 225/45's up front and 255/40's out back.

IF you're going for the look posted above, not what you need..

[love2smoketires]

[QUOTE=BillyM;478640]Rota RB, ~$750
Front: 17x7.5"+20mm /w ~8mm spacer
Rears: 17x8.5"+04mm

Sumitomo HTR
Front: 225/45-17
Rears: 255/40-17

If I were to do it again, I'd go with 235/45's front and 265/40's rear.

this looks very nice to. would I need the spacer that was required for the front rims?

[BillyM]

Nope... the rims you're looking at were +04mm offset front and rear, and should fit perfectly (you might want to add a bit of front camber if you're lowered up front). My spacer is not really a spacer, as I run over-hub brake rotors. Those should fit nicely with the suggested tire size above, but I wouldn't attempt 245/s on the +04mm offset front's.
