Wheel Directory: TSW Nurburgring 17x8.0 +45




These wheels look good on just about any car. Mustangs, Cameros, and of course they look good on the FRS/BRZ. These are 17x8, +45, wrapped in 225 45 17 BFGoodrich KDW 2 rubber.

The rear wheels have a 10mm spacer giving you +35 in the rear allowing you to rotate front to back.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

The wheels were purchased from ModBargains, talk to Jurrian if you want some of these awesome wheels.

Thanks again to Jurrian @ ModBargains for putting together a great deal on 8 wheels.

We'll definitely look to them again when the need arises!

What's the difference between going with 17x8 +35 vs 17x8 +45 plus rear spacers? Looks amazing, BTW. I think these are the wheels I'm getting after seeing your pics.

Unfortunately, they do not offer these wheels in anything other than +45 offset, which is why we were forced to use spacers. 10mm spacers aren't too big a deal. Def need longer wheel studs to accommodate the spacer. So, that's the difference.

It looks like they do now. Or am I looking at the wrong thing?

I'm pretty sure they offer them in 17x8 +35, Discount Tire sells them, but +35 is only available for the machined face and matte gunmetal...

I contacted ModBargains and a few other retailers after seeing this same information and they were not able to find them with this offset. It's weird that it's in the literature but they don't seem to actually offer it. I advised them to pull that information so that other people wouldn't be under the same impression I was.

edit: I'll be pissed if they magically started offering it a month after I purchased two complete sets.
