I'm curious about the fitment of +44 offset; my 17x8 TE37's in +38 have the stock inside distance from the front suspension coils. I intentionally went 10mm out to get the width increase on the outside. I think there will be enough space, though +44 might be better centered on the hub than +38.

I think that in a 17x8 you will have plenty of room on either offset. I actually wanted a bit lower of an offset, but couldn't find anything available.

Thanks. No I sell a really short antenna through turtle factory. It's maybe 3"?

Thanks for plugging this into the temate/ generator. I'm bummed because the car is being replace by Toyota, so I won't lower this one, I'll wait for my new one to come.
