I'm looking at some wheels that are 17x7.5 +35 and 17x8.5 +45. I was wondering if these will clear stance coilovers and z brakes. And will they be sunken. I did use the offset calculator but I'm not to sure of the clearances of the suspension. It kinda seems like it might not clear though. Here are the wheels just in case:http://www.memoryfab.com/wheel...023/#

The fronts should clear the suspension with no problem, but theyre not exactly flush. 8" wide with 0 offset is usually considered flush, and your wheels will be over 40mm more sunken than those 'flush' wheels.

Take a look at some other used wheels sites and you'll come across some Super Advans with better sizes/offsets.
