Did search I promise...still have wheel offset question....

[pwrtrip]

I've read alot of what seems to be slightly conflicting posts on wheel offset.

This is what I have on my 1g right now.
Eibach Prokit with KYBAGX adjustables 1.3" Drop or so.

The wheels I want are Konig 17x7.5" With a +45mm offset

Will these fit or rub? Will these stick out or be sunken in way to far? What size tire can I run to avoid these issues.

I've read posts that say 17x7.5 max offset is +45 MM and others that say they screwed themselves by running a 17x7.5 rim with +45mm offset due to rubbing issues.

Help appreciated

You should be fine with those and 225/45/17 tires. Anything wider might rub.

Shit they are actually 17x7.5 I will I still be ok with a 225/45/17?

Thanks

Sure, it's not the wheel width that matters so much as the tire width.

I run 235's with a 45offset and a Tein S-Tech 1.5 front 1.3 rear drop. I have and will not rub. This is on 17x8's to make you feel better, but it is like Wret said, Tires not wheel that will cause the rub.

I appreciate your input guys....do you suggest a certain tire width or brand to stick with?
