Ok, Im thinking of new wheels for the S I want to run 17's what is the proper wheel width and offset for an AP1 for some reason i think front wheel width is 7" to 7.5" and rear is 8" to 8.5" and rear offset is 45mm i dont know front offset am i correct? Also i run normally a 235/45/17 front and a 245/40/17 rear currently i roll on 5zigen fno1r, I do not know my offsets and im just thinking of going to something else currently do not know what. Ideas suggestions? My car is berlina and I favor a simple style polished black wheel with a silver or chrome lip. I do not care for the not bbs multi spoke styles.
These are my wheels now
Dave, I am 17x7 +45 F with a 215/45/17 and 17x8 + 45 R with a 245/40/17. They are not good offsets if you are slammed but at stock height they give the car a mean stance!
There is less room for suspension travel on a lowered car. I think Puff's spring is too soft to use 45mm wheels safely. He needs to stay very close to stock offset.
It is hard to find stock offset for the rear wheels. The OEM, Volks, and TR Motorsports are the only ones that I know of, is there any other alternatives?

lol maybe i should find me some ap2 v2 rims and end my headache
Well the answer there is yes and no. I have found some wheels that i really like but its hard to find fitment info for them. They are these
These to me are awesome, They are OZ Chrono HLT and they are exactly what im looking for down to the little carbon fiber center cap, the problem is they only currently come in 19" im not prepared to go that large on my car. If anyone knows of a wheel that looks similar to this that fits the S LET ME KNOW
