To get the look everyone is wanting, you need to look at the r-type design. The ones being installed are f8 or f8f design.

I've looked into this. To get that retro look, with lip, there's a narrow window that works. A 15x7 zero offset, or 15x8 +10 offset. Or you could get 16's, but if it were me, I'd go 15's. This will poke the same as a 18x9.5 +30, which many people have fitted.

You're not getting 17" r types, it would look stupid. If you want the retro wheel look, you have to commit to the retro sizing.

Those 17" sizing are all going to have the same f8 or f8f face, no matter what the offset. They just leave more material on the inside of the centre of the wheel.
