you wont find flush in 17x7, those wheels are oriented towards hondas and other fwd's, therefore theyll have offsets for those cars

look for at least 17x8, around a +20, wider would be better still...but youll at least start getting into a wider selection in nicer sizes when you get to 17x8

Honestly, dont get them. You will regret it.

If you do, put 25mm spacers all the way around.

it will take 40mm in the front

60mm in the rear to be flush with roll on front and rear

stock rear id say 40mm all around

16x8 +10 or so would be flush all around most likely

ROFL, good luck running 40 and 60mm spacers.

Yokota, your idea of flush is a lot differant than most people on this forum.

In short, find differant wheels.

id say 60 is where you start getting into some interesting wheels to make the fitment look right

however if you put it into perspective, compare them to your wheels, these would need a 35mm spacer to reach the same spec...the ever popular 17x9 +20 would need a 45mm

im not a fan of spacers period, so id say look at least for a 17x8 +20, which you said youre going to start looking for, i think they will be hard to find...

your best bet would be to find like a 17x8.5 +20-25ish and go from there, how far you go depends on what youre looking for and how much work youre willing to do fitment wise
