I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me a little bit about offset. I know a little but i need to know more before i buy some new wheels.

Basicly I want 17's with an offset that sets the tires out from the car. i wanna look at my car from behind and see the wheels out a little bit. and i also dont want rubbing.

Thanks

such a vague question...

read the link that srpowered240sx provided. Offset is just as important as wheel width. Without knowing both, providing just an offset or just a wheel width is useless.
