Ok, so I've decided to finish off my project car with a set of 17x7 5Zigen FNO1R's in bronze w/ 225/45 tires. my question is.. what offset would be best to avoid having to roll the fenders etc. ? would a +35 offest work? the car is lowered about inches. it's for an S13 coupe in two tone Green/gray. I've already searched but found nothing on this.. thanks in advance.

+15 with slight camber front and rear (and maybe alittle fender trimming the rear to get it even closer... : ) )

why would you wanna go with a 7 inch? stock rims are like 6 inch, not much of a difference in surface area... imo, you should go 17x8 or bigger, but definitly not a 7... plus its gonna look kinda funny imo... anyways, since you asked... personally, i'd be crazy and just go with a +0 offset

There is only one option..

17x9 +20. They'll fit with some camber and the fenders rolled.

None of these 17x7 ones..

Well if you have 5 lug then you could get 17x8 +25. If not then 17x9 +20 will be your only choice unless you dont care if your wheels are sunken in. With the 17x9 I believe all you need is to bang the fender lip flat and add some neg. camber and it should fit with 235/40?

Ok, based on what I've been told I think i wanna go with 17x9 235/45 all around with +20 offset. just to double check, this is a good choice? I really don't want to have to deal with rolling or denting the rear fenders and I really dont' want any rub. any other suggestions before i make the purchase?

you'll need a fender roll for 17x9 +20. you should get the fender rolled anyways...

and for those who havent had their fenders rolled... do it!
