Wheel dilemma
I've been vigorously researching wheels and what all the numbers mean over the course of the last few days and I think I have a good understanding of everything. However, I'm still stuck. I know stock specs are sumlike 215/45/17 with 17x7 +48(or 53, still not sure). Yet I still see people running 18x8.5 or x9 and I wonder how people can get away with adding all that size to the car. I was looking at some 17x8 wheels with like a +30-35 offset but now that I see everyone running these wide wheels, it has me second-guessing my judgment. Can anybody offer insight as to why some people choose to go so wide without a widebody kit? Is there any merit to it? Isn't it dangerous to have wheels that wide that come so close to the inside of the wheel well? Any help would be appreciated.
