**tonyjnjz** · 03-13-2007, 08:25 AM

what offset should u be looking for when picking out 17 x 11s for the rear.....im looking at some with a 63mm offset..will these fit running 315s without any mods to my car? thanks

you'll need at least a 1/2" spacer if not a bit more.

wow or else? they would rub on the inside fender? what is the ideal offset so they just barely dont rub on the inside but dont stick out rediculously far? thanks

then why are you going with 17x11s if you don't want them to be to far in or out? there's only so much room in those fenderwells and 17x11s are stick out to an extent no matter what......

want them to fit as best possible bro....there fikse wheels...u dont buy expensive wheels that dont fit perfect..i want 315/35s on the rear for more traction....as u can see in my sig that has been a prob for me...i LOVE the way 315s look on the rear of an fbody ....i dont want them miles out past my rear fenders though if they dont have to be

....itll look like one of those hoodrat mustang 5.0s with wheels 6 inches past the fenders..

pretty much +50mm... that's what i have as well as lots of people.

go with a 17x10 wheel with a 295/35 tire

**tonyjnjz** · 03-13-2007, 04:07 PM

>AFS wheels sells the correct offset for the rears if you want to go with 315/35ZR17 and 275/40ZR17 for the front.
They have pics on their site http://www.afswheels.com/Shop/Contro...1368/set_num/1
BTW they are cheaper on Ebay from them too.
