Getting new wheels, am I on the right track?

[white86out]

Alright, Im gonna order some Rota G-Forces. Here are the specs.

17x8 +48 offset.

Am I gonna need spacers to make these look decent? How big of a spacer will get me out to flush? Is +35 considered flush on both front and rear?

I just want to have all my ducks in a row before I push the button. Thanks for the help!

Personally, I'd go for a lower offset.

Yep, go for something with an offset closer to +35. No sense doing spacers when you can just get another wheel in the tight offset.

If you do have to go with spacers, go with the bolt-on type, in 15mm.

Gotcha, I just went back and looked at the wheels. I can get them in +38 or +35. I used the wheel fitment calculator on here, and it looks like +35 is pretty close to flush.

Opinions?

17x8 +38 is the perfect happy medium. I'd go with that.

got 17x8 +35 going on in the spring myself, go for it

35 is better. Especially after the natural camber that comes from a drop.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards 35.

I was set on +35 until I saw how much poke that created in the front. Stock offset is bad, but poke is no better in my eyes. I opted for +45 and may add a 10mm spacer in the rear. Undecided until I get the new wheels on.

I have the same 17x8 +45. I think they look great. Obviously not flush, but they don't look too sunk in either.

I like my 17x8 +45. If you go with the 17x8 +35, I believe they poke out up front without a drop/camber.

Look at the pics in this thread. You can really see the poke on the black FRS. If you like the look of those cars, there's your answer.

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.
