This is interesting. TireRack only had the 17X7 +50mm before and that only weighs 14 lbs. Now they added the 17X8 +36mm that weighs 15.8 lbs. Which one to get?

For the OP, wouldn't the 17X7 be a better choice if you are sticking with the 215s? Also, do you think there will be rubbing with wider tires on the 17X8 with the more aggressive offset? What about TPMS? Did you mount them on the new wheels?

I'm thinking getting the 17X7 with 215s for the street and 17X8 with wider tires for the track.
