That'd be about half an inch further sucked in that stock rims. I'd pass on those unless you're getting a killer deal and don't mind running spacers.

it's for rims + tires of yokohama advan. for $600 CAN

Seems like a good deal to me and is there any problem running spacers? Will they hurt the car or the performance?

Thanks for the reply as well.

EDIT: how about these...
18" Enkei Rims, 5 bolt, theyre 18x7?

You can buy those and get some spacers to bring it out a bit more. A 5mm spacer won't hurn anything. I have +42 wheels and they fit fine, but I am looking into 5mm spacers to bring it out.

EDIT: the wheels you are looking at have the wrong bolt pattern. Those are 5X114. You need 5X100.

The Enkei's would fit provided they are the right offset.

I wouldn't have thought so considering 225/45 on 17x9. et=35 don't. thats what I'm running.

I am running 17x7 rims with a 205/40/17 tire with a 40 offset, just wondering if this is close to flush with the fenders? they look like they could come out a bit?

17x8 +35 is a good setup for the 6gc. Tire size is up to you though. You can stretch a 215/45/17 or go with a 235/40/17. You "may" get slight rubbing in the rear depending on how low you are with a 235/40...not that big of deal just roll the rear fender lip in alittle. There has been pictures posted in this thread with this setup.

I am considering some 17x8 with a 46 offset and was wondeing if 235/40/17 tires will fit without clearance issues? the car is unlowered right now but will be later. I'm more concerned with not rubbing rather than having perfectly flush wheels, spacers can always be added later.

I just bought a 1996 Celica ST. Can someone tell me if I can use 17"x7.5" rims with a +32mm offset?
I will use 215/45-17 tires and the car is not lowered. How would this look? Any cleareance issues?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Ok, to bring a very old thread back, I'm looking at a set of 18"x7.5" with a +48 offset. I'm sitting on Eibach pros with roughly a 1" drop. Will these cause clearance issues and will they be flush or sucked?

a 15mm spacer would get it flush. otherwise it'll be sucked in. I dunno about the clearance issue though, but it also depends on your tire size.

If you put an offset, arn't you taking the risk of loosing control over the car since your putting something over original?

Could someone please tell me this thing.

I´ve been lookin' for these rims, that are 17"x8" and the offset is 42.

My car is on normal rideheight at the moment, what would it look like? How about if I lower it?

It will look pretty good (depending on if the rims look good). 17x8 is a good size rim and with 42 offset you're looking at a fairly close to flush look, which is always good. If you lower it it will look better and clearance may be an issue on full steer but there are ways around that. Only way to know is to drop it.

That's pretty close to flush. Maybe a few more millimeters.

Drop it. Drop it like it's temperature is too high to come in contact with human skin.

drop it like it's hot?

anyway, acording to this guide, for a 17x8 the ideal offset would be 40mm. if you've got 42, that's only 2mm off, you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference. though I've been told 17x8 with a 35mm offset is really flush too. in any case, I think we need to run staggered wheels in order to have anything perfectly fluch anyway.
