>+35 wont even be close to being flush. You'd still need at least +25 spacers in the rear for flush. Front's will need +10 spacers for flush. I have 17x8 +35 and they weren't even close to flush. Even the 15mm Ichiba spacers I had in the rear didn't make it quite flush. BTW, not to be an ass but starting with +42 will be an even worse start.

+35 would be better than stock. rim width also plays a part in it as well. +35 is perfect for me as i spend most of my time in northern maine where the roads are junk and hellaflush would turn into hella expensive when every pothole would eat rims and tires. I suppose everyone else has a different opinion though, clearly. Bonzaicelica has the same motegi ff7's and better camera angles which show the fitment. But like I said, everyone has a different opinion.



Stock IS +35. Offset will play big in how flush you want it, not width.

>I posted a picture on the first page of this thread of some volks wheels. If you copy and past the link I am about to post, It should take you to the page the volk wheels are on. The wheels are 17 x 9. How close will the wheel be to flush. or even hellaflush. Does anybody think these wheels will work good. Or will they just plain be to wide. please let me know. Sorry for the lack of knowledge on my part.

I thought these wheels would have the correct bolt pattern. When I ordered my last set of wheels they were 5 x 100 or 5 x 114.3. I just assumed by these wheels having 10 holes. 5 holes would be 5 x 114.3 and the other 5 holes would be 5 x 100. Just didnt think they would have 10 holes and both bolt patterns be the same. If both bolt patterns are the exact same why have 10 holes?

As for the correct offset, thats what I am trying to figure out, thats why i am asking questions, to learn more. Could you Please tell me the sizes I would need to have my wheels flush? Then tell me the sizes I would need to give me the hellaflush look? Or whatever I would have to do to get the hellaflush look? I mean the correct offsets.

As I said before, Sorry for my lack of knowledge. But if not for ppl like myself not knowing this stuff, what would all you wonderful ppl do with your spare time, Instead of answering our "we should have already known" questions. wink.gif
Thank You everybody for the comments. I will look into what everybody has suggested Thanks again.

If stock is +35 and width doesn't have an effect, then why are my stock steelies a LOT less flush than my +42s? Clearly width plays an important part. if width doesn't matter then where does all the extra width go? in backspacing? clearly not so therefore width does matter. +35 on a 4 inch rim and +35 on a 10 inch rim will be completely different fitting (flushwise).

EDIT that should have quoted block not babi_boi sorry
