[SnowRabbit]

i need some help im trying to buy some rims but wasnt sure if they would fit my car there 17x8 i have a 1g gsx please let me know if it will fit and look good

What's the offset on the wheels? That will determine whether they fit and how much they stick out. I just got Evo8 wheels that are 17x8 with a 38mm offset. They stick out a little in the front, but otherwise fit perfectly.

38mm is perfect for running larger sized tires.

It says it has a 45mm off set will that stick out to far and look funny on my car

Do you have any pictures of your car with Evo 8 rims on? I have been wondering how they would look.

The size is 17x 8 with a 45mm offset is that way to wide

 

[VanIsleDSM]

a 45mm offset means that the rims will sit in further, they will fit fine, but you probably won't be able to run tires over 225/50/17, with 38mm most 235/45/17s will fit, possibly even 245s

No pictures yet. The car is still in my garage being put back together right now. I'll definitely get some pictures posted when the car is finished.

Concerning the original topic, another thing to possibly worry about with the 45mm offset is the rear trailing arm rubbing on the inside of the rim/tire. You can grind the lip down on the trailing arm, so it's not too big of an issue.
