How should I set up a set of 17x8 et 15 wheels? Right now they have some 205/45/17s mounted on them, but it's time for new rubber so what's the ideal fitment? Spacers? They're going on an '87 iS w/ bilstein sports and h&r race springs, so there should be plenty of room...

Just going off of a previous post here. He wrote stock bolts are 32mm, plus the 20mm spacer, plus some extra would mean 60mm studs.turk@gutenparts.com

I have a similar question, looking at buying 16X8,5 for front and 16X9,5 in the rear but wondering which offset to go for. Front would be ET10 or 15 but wondering what to do about the rears. My car is lowered 60/40 and it´s a Touring (if that even matters). I am a noob when it comes to buying wheels, that being said :) my goal is to avoid using spacers.
Has anyone here got a setup like the one I mentioned?

Along ways off but this fall after I recover from the 24v swap I'm thinking of buying another set of wheels as a strictly stretch/street setup and possibly put a DOT R comp on the Works for auto-x/HPDE.
I will be running stiffer springs as well, probably 475f/650r or something close.
17 x 9 ET 10 - 205/40/17
17 x 9.5 ET 10 - 215/40/17
I figure that should be about an equal stretch front and rear while still allowing for a hint of stagger'd goodness.
Thoughts?Need parts now? Need them cheap? steve@blunttech.com
