For the people that know RIM sizes/fittings...

sup guys, this is daniel just needing some questions answered, hope some people could help me out again...

i feel like upgrading my rims, my painted stock rims are not for me anymore , anyways... im looking at some 17 inch gramlights 57Pro, and i want to buy the right ones.

you know on the 2nd gens, it's pretty obvious the whole rim goes in there deep, i want it to be flush with the fender/back. so which size can i get to make it look pretty flush? i've seen some 17 inch 57pro 5/114 pattern lugs... now i just need help with the other measurements now.

let me know guys, thanks alot!

PS> im pretty sure these are the right spec's on our stock rims i believe:
Bolt Pattern - 5x114.3
Offset - 46mm

for the 57pro's, i see numbers like 17x7, some .5, i know what the 17 is obviously, but what is that other part? thanks again guys! peace!

You talking about the 7 or 7.5? that's the width of the rim

 

[a5ian5murf]

yeah i know that... but what about offsets?...

 

[kevingst]

ok, well... I don't know what the rims you want are offered in but the rims that are on my car are like a 35mm or 38mm ( can't remember which ) offset. They're pretty much flush with the fenders, if not out just a bit (very slightly). I like it, gives it a nice wide looking stance.

the smaller the offset, the farther out the wheel sits from the centerline of the car. the larger the offset, the closer it sits to the center.

i have 17x7s with 45mm offset with 215/45s... lines up great with my fenders.
