The above is true for a car at stock height, however if you plan on lowering the car much at all, the minor "poke" of an et35 will camber in nicely to flush. If you pick higher offset (et45) and lower the car the tires will "suck" in due to the same natural camber. Keep this in mind.


Makes sense, maybe I'll go with the also available +38 just to be safe. I'm sure if the +35's go flush, than and extra 3 wont look too sucked!

When you get those bolted on, post photos and specs in a new topic in this forum area so I can add that spec to the Wheel Directory. Thanks!

just going to throw this out there, the OP is going for 17x8 +35, the pics in the thread you linked are 18x9 +35, and inch of width difference, therefore there is going to be about 12mm of inset versus the setup you linked right there. its not going to poke, if anything it might not be aggressive enough if he wants flush. especially once its dropped.

and to the OP if you want to have both front and rear equal, i would suggest 7mm spacers on the rear wheels.

Go here, it tells you exactly what size/offset you need for flush fit at varying heights.

8.75" et33 isn't even flush in the rear 8" et48 is going to look very close to stock

17x8 +35 does not poke, 17x9 +35 is about flush with the proper camber. Talking about front fitment.

Awesome info everyone. Im gonna go 17x8 +35. I feel confident that it won't poke in the front.

Okay, so I ordered 17x9 Rota Titans in flat black 42 offset. Had a good conversation with wheeldude, and they told me I would be much happier with 9in. The guy informed me that I wouldnt have any rub or alignment issues if I was only dropping the car on a prokit.

So Prokit and 17x9's it is! Should be here this week.
