      Did I read that right? E50?

      I dont see why a lower offset version wouldnt fit with spacers. Just make sure you budget the good ones. Not my cup-o-tea but I've seen worse.
      Im now E30less.

            I know they are not Slipstreams, I just said, I like the model Slipstreams from Rota wheels.

            Im not pretty sure about 17x7.5 wheels with e35 offset would fit but, Im pretty sure I had no problems running 40mm offset 17x7 wheels with no spacers at all. The thing is, it will look funny, and look tucked.

              Some nice BBS knockoffs, not bad for the price, actually what is the price on these things?

                Wheels with multiple bolt patterns just scream rice. the spoke design is OK at best, but the center cap and lug design arent very tasteful.

                  yea, i know the center cap design sucks, but u can always stick a roundel over it. and im just trying to find a rim that looks kinda like the milla millga mm11's. like yours jordan! also, i want a light wheel, and rotas are known for being very light.

                    I think your best bet would be to try and get the offset down to 20-25mm, as then you could run 225's. Im guessing that you can do 205's with the 35mm offset, but if you want to push the wheels out to the edge of the fenders, go with a lower #. The wheels are alright, but I agree with the others; 8 holes looks cheap.
