Thoughts on Gram Light 57Max
Gram Light 57Max in white
F: 17x7 +35
R: 17x8 +43
Sample picture:
What do you guys think about the sizes and offsets? Tucked or sticking out? I've read the stickies and what I've gathered is that there are guidelines, but it can vary widely depending on the wheel design. Therefore, I just want some expert opinion by folks who have experience or know how these wheels fit. Also, will they fit well in a S2000 that is lowered 1" on springs? Any fender rolling/mod required? Suggested tire sizes? I personally feel that the wheels are not wide enough, but I don't know why. I guess maybe it is because the stock AP2 wheels are wider. Anyone disagree?
Any opinions on if this setup will look like crap on my Silverstone AP1? White on Silverstone just doesn't look good in my imagination. I've done a search and nothing came up so apparently no one has imagined this to be a good looking setup. I'm especially concerned that these wheels in these sizes will look "flat" and ugly.
Lastly, what would be a good price on a set of these wheels? They are discountinued so I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.
Any advice is appreciated!

Tire to fender clearance isn't effected by wheel design. Only two things matter: wheel offset and tire width. That's it.
+43 is aggressive and even with stock sized tires you're going to need a fender roll. I briefly looked at these wheels but ultimately decided against them because they just didn't fit the S2000 very well. My advice would be to find a different set of wheels. There are many others that offer a similar design, fit better, and will be readily available.
