17 x 7 with a +42 offset any problems?

[TypeG]

any problems with that offset? i'm thinking it's good, but just want to make sure. later.

[blackcb7]

no problems at all, i am running 17x7 with a 40 offset and it fits good, just get a 205 or 215 tire and you should be fine

16x7 +42mm here, no problems

[cp[mike]]

uh oh. somethings up.


but as i understand it, thats the proper offset for that size.

[TypeG]

ok, cool. i'm tucking half the stock tire and i just don't want to raise the car up, lol. later.

[Boost_Lee]

i demand pics!

[TypeG]

i demand pics!

oh don't worry.



not even any problems with the rear quarter when hitting bumps or when having a car full of people? i just don't wanna roll the rear fender, lol. later.

+42 is not an aggressive offset at all...with stock profile tires you'll still have quite a bit space between tire and fender lip. When you get down below +33 with 7 inch width, that's when you'll start having to get creative

[TypeG]

thanks dudes!

any hints? chrome? polished aluminum? what?

i was considering getting some wheel and doing a custom whatever to it, but then decided to stick with my roots and go chrome. i'm gonna order them tomorrow. with any hope, there won't be a long wait.

i'll give some specs: 17'', triple chrome plated, rotory forged T6 aluminum, and 15lbs a piece. later.

how wide a tire are you getting cause with my slipstreams which are 16x7 with 215- 50 -16.... offset is +40 i think..... i had a slight rubbing issue with people in the back with inner rear quarter panel and had to do some rolling....and im not droped no where near as low as you....

[TypeG]

i'm not getting all that wide of a tire (205-17-40). later.

yeah there's really no reason why you shoulda got 215...that's 10mm wider than stock...should be at 205/50/16's...then you'll be better off

I'm at 205/50/16's with 16x7 +33's and there is absolutely NO clearance between the fender lip and the tire...it's about as perfect as it gets

[J-specCb4]

thats about perfect...
