Just got enough put aside for some new rims, i was looking at these in the past then my girlfriend decided to go head to head with a deer in her mustang and that took a chunk out of my wallet... i have a 2002 ap1, so this should work?

Front: 17x(7.5/8)? Off Set: 45 Tire: 215/45
Rear: 17x9 Offset: 63 Tire: 255/40

on the front theres 17x7.5 OS: 45 or 17x8 OS: 45 which would be better for my car?
also would i need any spacers?
i dont wanna screw up my cars handling...

yeah 17x7.5 +45 front with 215 or 225 i ran 225 and 17x9 +63 rear with 255 up to you with the front if you dont like over steer get the 215s. you could also run the 17x9s on all 4 corners with 255s or 245s but youll have alot of oversteer with an ap1 with out some suspension mods coilovers/swaybars/allignment all up 2 you but no rubbing either way.. gl

3rd set is on the way It is either good/bad luck that discount keeps damaging the finish.

The discounts given when they start messing the wheels up help me justify moving from oem wheels over to these.

Discount keeps damaging the wheels? Can you add some details?

nickp, what size spacer did you get for the rear? And scareyourpassenger- what kind of clearance do you have in the front with the 255s on +63? Brake caliper clearance?

They end up damaging the paint near the front area around the center bore. Since the center caps don't cover this area they realized they need to be more careful than usual. So they bought 4 new wheel to replace the first set and then they damaged another two of the replacement set even after I reminded them how they were damaged last time.

It works out for me in a way though. For less than a price of one set I will have 2.
Hopefully they can figure out how not to damage this next set so I can get a clean set for the street.

There is plenty of room near the fender. I don't have a great way to measure caliper clearance but the way the wheel is designed there is lots of room.

I have been researching to buy another set of wheels once I move down south. I was thinking 6ulr's but now here is another option. They look great. Especially the Matte gray.


I can rock TSW's though.
