Hi guys,

I have some wheels I wanna buy and they only offer 17X7 and 17X8.5..

Can you guide me in this Sh*t please ? hahaha.

Will it be okay ? And how much offset do I need ?

Thanks in advance,

 

What offset are they for starters.

 

Hmm I don't know where to check... they are XXR 518 in gold...

 

I looked on google and it says 17X8.5 +48 or +35
17X7 +48 ?

 

Nobody ???

 

The 17x7 +48 and 17x8.5 +48 will both fit.

The 17x8.5 +35 will fit on the rears but require rolling your fenders. On the fronts this size will probably require rolling and flaring your fenders

Is this for a staggered setup, are you lowered and what size of tires do you want to run? All of this makes a difference.

 

No im not lowered but I will probably soon. The size of tires I dont know.. what size do you recommend ? Yes it's for a staggered setup...

 

Do you want to do fender rolling or no.

If no I would say for staggered 215/45/17 fronts with 245/40/17 rears with the 17x7 front and 17x8.5 +48 rear. If you want to dial out some oversteer run a 255/40 in the rear. You might want to roll your rear fender with a 255 but it might fit without a roll.

225 is really too wide for a front 17x7.

 

ok, i'm french so you gonna have to explain me slooooooowly haha. Dial out some oversteer ? And what do you mean by roll your fenders ?

Best of the best package is :

17X7+48 front with a 215/45/17 tires
17X8.5 +48 with a 245/40/17 rear tires ??

 

Yeah thats probably best for you.

Oversteer is the tendency of the AP1s rear end to try to come around on you, get loose, spin you out. Wider rear tires can help change this. But its not really a big deal.

Rolling your fenders is when you rent/buy/borrow a roller and roll that sharp lip you feel at the inner edge of the fender, you roll that flat so you can fit lower offset wheels without that edge cutting into your tires. You can crack your paint doing this if you dont know what youre doing.

If you dont want to mess with that just get the 17x7 and the 17x8.5 +48 with 215/45 and 245/40 tires and be done. These tire sizes are stock for the AP2.

Get some lug nuts that fit aftermarket wheels too, the stock one dont work with most aftermarket wheels.
