so i know that there are alot of questions about what offset is the best or if these wheels will be flush but i just need a quick answer. first off, i am running 17x7 rims with a +43 offset. i am using 215/45/17 falken azenis all around and i am lowered approximately 2.2 inches in the front and 1.2 inches in the rear. now i know that the proper way to have rims sit nice and "flush" on a car is to acquire the proper rim with the proper offsets. unfortunately, that isnt an option for me seeing as i do like the current rims and they aren't available in a lower offset. anyways, the question is which spacer size would i need to make it sit "flush" or will it boil down to the trial and error route? i'm thinking 25mm spacers but maybe the pros out there would've dealt with something like this before. thanks in advance.

and to clear up what i feel "flush" is to me, i would like the rim itself to be flush with the body of the car............

At least a 30mm.

it depends on how much neg camber you add too.

but yeah.. you'll need bolt on spacers.

and it's not really a different twist on a common question... it's simply a common question
