1G Offset for 17x9 1g Talon

[iceman21]

The ideal offset for a 17x9" wheel for a 1g has been determined to be 27mm.

I think when I was looking into RPF-1 wheels, they had a 35mm offset available in the 17x9, which is likely what I would have gotten and run spacers.

Sorry to bring this up AGAIN, but does running the spacer effectively bring the offset to +27mm? I know that you can't actually change the actual offset of the wheel without changing the wheel dimensions themselves and the spacer just increases the back space of the wheel.

I'm curious because I'm looking at a set of Rota Grids or Avid AC06s in a 17x9 +35mm for my 90 GSX.

If you're at 35 mm using a 5mm and a 3 mm spacer will effectively put you at 27 mm. However you must use ARP strengthened and lengthened studs.

35 offset is perfect for the rear and pokes out too much in front. I would not run it based on it looks.
