Hey guy found another set of wheels smile.gif
I need some advice
17x7.5 offset +50.
Now I know these are more suitable for a WRX.
1) Would these fit?
2) What size spacer would I need to make it look flush?

Thanks

O.K., you won wink.gif . Offset +50 and 7.5 width rim with spacers will fit for 100%. Without spacer there is possibility you may rub wheel arch sometimes (abrupt turns, "U" turns, etc.).

But how low are you? 32mm would probably be just fine on a car if it's not too low and not running too wide of a tire, but if you are really low and want to ride on comfortable tires my bet is on the 40mm offset.

Those will fit a 7.5" rim fine. If you are going to go for an 8" rim, I would look for a slightly larger tire if traction is an issue.

No it's not. For 225/50s you can use 6.0 - 8.0 rims

see topic here ("recommended combinations rim and tire widths" table) for more info wink.gif

I am going to upgrade to these Konig's
http://buywheelstoday.com/products/?id=2749

which ones should i get the 18' 7.5 with 45 offset or 8 with 40

i dont know how to roll fenders, and would rather just bolt these on, does anyone suggest one over the other, will i rub the wheel arch or anything?

some help would be greatly appreciated.

and all that offset stuff confused me, i would like to get the rim flush, as a bolt on (no spacers or w/e), and my car is lowered.

Thanks!

ok, i figured i should have never bought the spacers. i can only seem to find 17x8 w/ a 35mm offset, i dont think it should be a problem though because my car is lowered on H&R springs that drop it about 1-1.2" I am also going for the same overall diameter. Correct me if im wrong. this topic rocks by the way, thanks man.

Just had a blow out so need some help.

I took the alloy of & wondered if it is the correct offset etc. read through the post but im still confused.
I'm running a 215/35/18 7.5j 48 offset according to numbers on the inside of the rim i assume are offset etc.

thanks

some guy is selling his 7.5", + 45mm, 225/45/17 which I'm guessing won't be too well for a stock suspension celica since the off set is too high. Am I right?
