"Low" is a relative term.

et35 isn't, but originally I was looking for et25 (I said in the original thread I was struggling to find anything LOWER than et35, not that I wanted et35) and I could hardly find any wheels with an offset that low so I assumed that was pretty low.

If you want to keep the same size as stock, look at a set of rims that are 17x7 with an offset of +35. If you want slightly wider you could go 17x8 +35 and run a 225/45/17.

The problem is this is really hard to find except in replicas. I've been looking at options for a couple of weeks.

17X7 is a bit hard to find. You can find more if you're willing to go to a 8 or 9 inch rim.

This is what I have. 17x7 and +35 team Dynamics Pro Race 1.0 - the little added track width fills out the wheel well better without really being a big enough difference to be a worry.

They're also only 16lb a wheel, so that's another perk.

Yup +35 offset works well. A bit of poke I think with out negative camber up front. I have 17x8 +35 for my summer's.

I heard spacers are fine for racing. Just my $.02

Thanks for the help guys - ended up ordering some OZ Ultraleggera wheels with a 35 offset and .5 of an inch wider than stock wheels (so 17x7.5, et35).

So my existing 215 width tyres should still fit fine and the extra width and lower offset should make it sit roughly flush

Will post some pics in my build thread once they're on: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2169702
