Default Looking at wheels...

I looking at a set of wheels but the only offsets they come in are 42,45,48mm. I was thinking on getting the 48mm for the front with a 215/45/17 and the 45mm on the rear with the 255/40/17.

From what I read on the wheel fitment sticky, this should be ok to run as I am not lowered and don't really plan to be anytime soon. Any thoughts...

while I'm no expert, the offset for the rear should be fine if youre not lowered.

how wide are the wheels? 17x9 +45?

You'll be be fine with a +48/45

I used to run 17x8 +45 front with a 215/45/17 and 17x9 +45 rear with a 245/45/17

Damn, I hate looking at wheels for the S, I find ones that I like but they don't have the staggered fitment or the offsets are way too low. I was already to buy a set until I found out the front wheel will have 10 lug holes(5x100/5x114.3) and the rear will only have 5. I think that would look pretty stupid, so I passed.

I don't want Rotas or Enkei as everyone and their brother has them and I don't have unlimited funds to spend on Volks, or Works, but then again everyone has them

yeah, wheel choices are tough.

i want wheels for my suv, but im just too damn picky, and i dont want to spend to much on them, as i will need to get tires as well.

i wasn't looking to spend a ton of money either, plus I wanted to stay in the 17" range because I have a new set of tires waiting to be mounted. Now it looks like I will have to go with a set of 18"s...
