yessir. I'd watch the 8.5's up front... I'm running pretty close to the shocks as is... and my tires are a little stretched.

That's the rear, 17x9, 35 offset. tires are once again a little stretched at 235/45/17. I'd say this is a pretty good tire size if you go 8.5 as well.

I was debating a 8" wide and a 205 stretched and a low offset and idea what offset would work? :bigthumb:

For pretty accurate measurement.

First measure your distance between the outter edge of your wheel and where the inner fender would be if it were straight down

Then go here:
http://www.venommotorsports.com/library ... ulator.asp

Enter your stock wheel (15x5.5 42 offset, IIRC), then play around with the 8 inch wide and different offsets to see how much further they would stick out past your OEM wheels.

My first guess would be a 17x8 +25 or so may work well with stretched (though I don't believe in stretching).

Yea. I'd go with what he said first. But if I was going with an 8 inch wheel I'd probably look for something with around a 20-25 offset. maybe even 30. Whatever you can find really, lol. Most everything affordable is 40 or 42.

I would highly recommend the Rota D2 in 17x8 (or 8.5) should have it around +25.

Also the 17x8 FN01R-C. Believe its around +30.

Really do think you'd like the 5Zigen FN01R-C in hyper black on your car, should be able to get 17x8 that fits well.

If wanting the wider spokes then I'd do Rota D2 in gunmetal.

i personally love the look with the wheels on your car... I'd throw some spacers on and rock those. How wide are they?
