    im looking to get a set of these for my car. I currently have the tokico kit on my car which lowered it id say about 2 inches. Can anyone post a pic of these if they have them on there car- or give any input on the quality of these wheels.
    Im also up for suggestions if i should get the black ones with chrome lip (similar to my current wheels) or the all silver ones.
    thanks guys.

      I want to run 17's, with ideally 245's non staggered. Right now I'm on 15x8 et 20 Slips, running a 225/50. ~3 degrees of negative camber in the rear, ~4 in the front, each side. Fender lips are rolled flat. It looks like I'd have enough space if I went with a lower offset - et5 or so?

        Looking for the ideal tire size so no rolling will be needed. Thanks.
        Nice offset. 215/40/17, nothing needed.

          They aren't bad looking at all, but you'd need at least 20mm spacers to pull them off.

            Everything you said made sense until the last sentence.

            245/35/17 all around is easy with your setup, but you'd want the offset around 15-20 (for a 17x8.5).

              A lower offset would move the wheel outwards, correct?

              Right now I've got strut clearance issues in the front, so wouldn't I want a lower offset?

                Strut clearance increases with wheel diameter (the strut is tilted slightly). 17x8.5 +18 would easily clear with a 245.

                  Aha. So, assuming 20mm for the adapters, I'd be looking for a wheel with an offset around 30-40mm, correct?

                          Time for number #38.

                          Again, late model car with coilovers. What offsets for a flush fit, fenders will be heavily rolled.

                            How would I fit a set of BBS RX 16X7's and where is the best place to buy the lugs and spacers.

                              15x7 et27 Kosei K1's

                              Can I fit 225/50 Hoosiers? What about 225/50 street tires? I don't mind rolling the fenders, just trying to avoid spacers. I need to figure out if I am using these wheels for street or track tires. If I can fit 225's, they will be my track wheels. If I can only do a 205, they will be my street/wet track wheels.

                              Currently running 205/50/16 Hankook z214 R-comps. Can I run a 225/45 r-comp? Street tire?
