So I have been an avid researcher and reader of the forums for a while but haven't really gotten around to posting anything. I did use the search button, but this question requires a specific answer, not a generality. SO. it is this.I recently cracked 2 of my rims and the opportunity came to me to buy brand new evo bbs 17in. rims, the bolt pattern is the same (i have 5 lug swap) but will these offsets clear (my newb area of knowledge).sizes are as follows:17 X 8 and 5X4.50. offset: +35

That is all the information I was. So please help a guy out to get his car back on the road lol.

does it matter? everyone will tell you yes but it will get you back on the road!

people will link you to these sites, so i'll just throw them in my post

rimtuck.com1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

we have a wheel fitment thread in the wheel section (technical section)and there's a really long fitment thread on zilvia as well.

good luck

lol thanks. If you would kindly answer me one last question? I am offset stupid. Will they sit closer in to the car? or further out? I currently have SSR Integrals at 17X8 at 32mm offset and they fit flush.

from what I hear they are rare rims but seeing as how i cracked one, they gotta go. Plus, the deal on the bbs's is ridiculously good.

They will sit 3mm further in. I doubt that you would be able to notice the difference.

In response to the b.s. flag. It is true, how I do not know but they sit damn near flush, maybe I am blind, deaf, and dumb but that is how it looks to me. Thanks to the rest of you for helping me out.
