okay thats what i thought because the first page said so but there are ppl asking if +40 offset works and its giving me second thoughts that +35 is not gonna fit... silly me 
PROJECT 6TH GEN<FS: Things up for grabs><Progress>
cool so um I'm car stupid, and I want to get a 17" for my ST. It has 15s stock, and is 7" wide, what offset would I get? My ride height is standard
ok guys i dont really know how to do the math to find out if the rims and tires im about to buy and install would look flush on my 94ST celica, ok first off i am lowered on df21o tanabe springs, 2.2 inch front and 1.5 inch rear, now im about to buy a 17x8 inch rims with 15 offset, what do you guys think? can somebody help? im looking to buy a set of rims just like the pic below
with the 15 offset your fronts will be sticking out ~15mm past the fender
cause i have 17x8 +32 and it is damn near flush in the front
cause i have 17x8 +32 and it is damn near flush in the front

sp what offset would fit flush perfect with with 17x8 size rims?

+35 for fronts and probably +30 for rears

that would work as long as the car is not dropped too low or you camber the wheels a bit. or fender roll.

it'll work without any of that. I have 17x8 +35 all around and there's still some room for something bigger in the rear. I've got tein s-techs btw.
something between a +25-30 would probably be best for the rear. or go with 17x8.5 with a +32-38 offset for the rear and the 17x8 +35 for the front.

^^^this is true. looking at 6strngs' hi-res pic, the car is too high for me with the 225/45/17s and the teins
and if you wanted to drop it lower than that with that tire size the fenders would need to be rolled
which is why i think i'll do 215/45/17s on the 17x8 +32s
then get a set of ground-control sleeves made to match KYB shocks
then i can drop as low as possible until i start rubbing

well, with the 8 inch wheel the 225/45 tire is kinda stretched (btw, 225 is the minimum width for an 8 inch wheel. a 215 is not recomended) and the tire actually is still fairly sucked in even though the face of the wheel is close to flush. even if I were lowered another inch, it could still stand to come out another 5mm or so.

good thread, but for the record, those 350z's are bagged. not coilovers.
in hawaii, the choose air-bag suspension over coilovers, especially the Z croud. press button, get slammed hottness. press button again, get semi-normal height which does not drag.
similar to the VW croud, only they guys who use coilovers dont get nearly as aggressive as the bagged VW's

>If i was going by a lower ride height, 17x8 with +30 offset will that look flush? (Well more after the wheels coming out slightly for a more aggressive look)
Eg.
From the first post its stated that +40 will look flush, anyone want to give me some advice?

this is prob a dumb questions but how do i know what offset i have? do i just measure from the wheel center line to the mounting surface? I have gramlights 57 16s if that helps....i wanna buy spacer so the front wheels look flush with the car and the rear to just slightly stick out...im planning on lowering with ground controls and i know im gonna have to roll my fenders.

should be stamped somwhere on the back of the rim. ET is the offset. for example, if it reads "16x7JJ ET42" it means your rim is 16 inches tall, 7 inches wide, with a positive 42mm offset.

my offset is 46 so how do i find out wat spacers i should get??? i want the front to be flush and the rear to stick out slightly.

offset is relative to wheel width. for example, a 17x8 with a 46 offset will stick out further than a 17x7 with a 46 offset. In this example it would stick out half inch more (12.7mm) and would be half inch closer to your strut housing. The best thing you can do, if you've already got the wheels on the car, is just get a ruler or something and measure how much you want it to come out, then buy the appropriate size spacer. keep in mind you MUST use longer wheel studs with spacers. if you're getting 10mm spacers, than you need 10mm longer studs. some of the real big spacers like 1-inch spacers come with lug nuts that go on your stock studs, and then it has it's own studs. like this

go for the +40. You won't need spacers, but it'll make the wheels more flush with them.

Will 10mm Spacers fit on with out new studs or will i need new studs?
\

>
you'll need studs 10mm longer than stock ones.
it's really not too hard to change out studs. You just remove the caliper and brake rotor (don't dissassemble the caliper, leave it all as one assembly) then using a big sledge hammer or something, beat the **** out of the studs until they come out, then put the new one through and put a fat washer or large nut over it, then screw the lug nut down onto it until it pulls the little "splines" at the end of the stud all the way into the hub. It's best to use an impact gun because you will have to tighten them REALLY tight to get the stud through. The proper procedure is to remove the hub and have them pressed in

Question, will 17x9 ET35 fit under the guards with a 3" drop?
[b]My Build Thread|Flickr|My Blog
I'm looking at 17x8's w/ +35 and I'm thinking 235/40 Tires. Apparently they fit but will I have rubbing issues? I'm at stock height now but plan on a small drop in the future. 225/45's seem to fit as well, but I want a little wider tire if I can fit it.

Anyone running 18x9.5 ET35 with 255/35/18 slammed around 2.5-3" drop with guard rolled? Planning this for my future setup.
[b]My Build Thread|Flickr|My Blog
we need to relook the offsets and widths again because even 7.5" with a 32 offset is still tucked in and my drop is 3.something inch drop. does anyone have a 9 or 9.5 inch wheel deep dish or staggered style preferred like a rwd car?
