Read the whole thread...

Has anyone tried 17x7 Front, 17x8.75 rear?

Or 18x7.5 Front, 18x8.75 rear?

I'd like to see more 17x8.25 sitting flush before I make my decision. I wanted to keep 17's but I'm diggin the 18's more.

17x8.25 with +35 offsets will be flush . I'm using 17x8.25+25 , with the coilover, you can tuck them in too ..

Got my flat black XXR 527 a few weeks ago and had tyres fitted up over the weekend.
Still waiting for my lug nuts and coilovers to arrive so I can slap them on

(18x8.75 f+35 & R+20 on 225/40/18 allround)

Just search for Subaru 55mm decal on Ebay. They came from Poland in a week. I can link it later if u can't find it. The picture has a ruler next to it. They are nice gel style decals. $10 bucks.

please help!!!

I like the wide stance and some poke out from the fender even tho most people dont.
I also want some meaty tires.......
the car is stock ride height now but will be lowered an inch sooner or later.

Does anyone know the LOWEST offset i can go on a 17x8 rim with 245 tires? and what about 250 tires?

i want this rim tire combo to fit both stock and lowered 1in ride height
and i would not want to adjust the camber like crazy.

thanks in advance

Hard to give you a correct answer on your infos, as I dont know what "some" poke means.

Anyways, to give you some idea: 17x8.25" in ET30 would be about flush/poking some mm in the front, not sure however if they produce them in ET30. 245 tires would fit well on those wheels, no need for 255 (there is no 250 btw)

However, I personally would suggest 18x8.75 ET35 with 245 tires on our cars with the XXR wheels, flush, functional, meaty. check my car journal for pictures of that setup.

ok i mean as much poke as possible without rubbing.
so could i go 20mm offset? or is that 2 low?

yea didnt kno they dont make 250 lol <---noob w/ rims tires

so 245 or 255 size. i want a lot of meat on the tire so it will fill the gap in the wheel well.

what offset will make my rims stick out the most without rubbing?

i know its not the most simple answer thanks 4 ur help bro
