17x8.5 +58 with 245s non stagger is doable all around. Not a common setup but the math checks out. More common is 17x9+63 with 255s however with 245s you are able to run 5 mm more aggressive offset to get the same outboard clearance so +58 offset works out. I would just add that while the risk for rubbing is low with this setup it is still possible in rare situations so I would still be very careful with curbs and also max out camber on stock adjusters.

Thank you very much, I will get this set if the offset is 58. If i could find another same set in the future, i will keep the rears to make it 17x8.5 +58 square.

To me, high-offset aftermarket wheels looks fugs - Convex spokes and bubbly appearance; the opposite of attractive concave, deep dish wheels.

If you plan to go non stagger eventually it may be a better idea to just get a non stagger set off the bat. The SSR type F is a relatively old wheel at this point and I'm not sure if it's in production anymore so it may be hard to find a matching set of wheels. 17x9+63 is a more ideal size so you can fit 255s.

Again, nothing wrong with the SSRs, and I like them a lot for a conservative spec fitment. It'll probably do perfectly fine for daily and light track duty. Just food for thought.

I really love the look of SSR, i am beginner for track.

I don't know if I will have more track day or not.

Is square set up good for daily?

Square is perfectly fine for daily, maybe better since you can rotate tires and get more mileage. The only thing you'll notice is that you tram line and ride grooves in the road more which isn't that big of a deal. There are cars out there with more tire than us and they still manage. You can still get the SSRs and go nonstagger later. You can theoretically go 245/255 stagger with a set of 17x8.5+58s all around too. I just wouldn't put a 255 in the front since you might rub.

The offset info is usually stamped into the inboard surface of the hub of the wheel.

With 17x8.5 +58 all around, is 245/255 stagger better than 245s all around?
i prefer 245s all around, so i can rotate tires.

These SSR don't have offset stamped on the back of wheels.

245 square. 255 on an 8.5 is right at the limit and pinched on the tire. If not tracking, I'd rather run 245 on an 8.5 than 255. And, also, prefer having the ability to rotate.
