+45mm offset?

Real quick question. Will a 17x7.5 (5x114.3mm+45mm) fit a 2g with at most a 2" drop? I was thinking maybe there is too much offset. The stock 2g GST wheels have a +48mm offset if I am correct but they are 16s. Will a +45mm offset be ok? What about a 17x8 (5x114.3mm+48mm)? Thanks.

the size of the rim doesnt matter it is the overall cirfumference. you can use 17x8 with a 45mm offset. The tire you want to use 225/45/17 that is the closest to the 205/55/16 the car comes with. Now if you want to go with a wider tire you might run into a problem

Is +48mm too much offset for a 17x8?

Is +48mm too much offset for a 17x8?

One more time: it's the tire that hits first.
