Depends on the wheel choice... choose a wheel and we can go from there.

Till then... your asking a question with 10 million answers.

i know this might be a stupid question but is offset of a rim is that what makes your speedo read wrong?

No, changing the overall size of the tire will. As long as you keep the overall size the same when going to bigger rims you will be fine.

I got a question about some volk te37's or some Le37's in 17 what is the widest i could go on stock fenders front and rear and what would be the recommended offset? I am up for little modification of the fenders and wheel well. also I have 300z brakes up front. If it makes a difference with offsets I have coilovers.

the above is what i am having deals with right now. looking at konig helium 17x7 or 17x8. i have the 300xz brakes on the front and soon to be on the rear. what would a good guess at correct offset be? this is a street car, with some light duty track, drift and autocross. should i stick with 35mm offset? i do like small lips on my wheels also, but am afraid of going and buying a large offset wheel in fear of rubbing issues, bearing issues and most important in my book, driveablity issues. whats your recommendations?

lol all i care about is making sure they will fit with little modification, aka rolling fenders and a little cutting here and there, maybe the use of the air hammer.

well im no expert but since nobody is answering you, ill give you an idea. a number of people run 17x9's +15. doing this youll have to run a narrower tire (ie. 215/40-45), roll the fenders, and use negative camber (abot -3 deg.) to make them fit. again i havent dont his myself but ive seen others who have done this with an s13.

another thing, clearing zbrakes doesnt have as much to do with offset as it does spoke design.
