anybody have a pic of 17's with +26 offset? or just around +26, because I'm looking at a set but don't know will it fit or how it looks

thanks
What width? 17x6 +26? That would be really easy to fit.

not if you run like a 205 tire probably not. If you haven't read through this thread at all we need to know how low you are, what size tire you want to run, and what you've done to your fenders. Plus how much camber you're willing to run. That size is definitely doable there are just differen't ways to do it.

Im lowered on Espelir ASD's so about 1"-1.5", and the tires are 235s in the front & 245's in the rear. Fenders are currently stock.

thanks for the help btw

roll, no flare, relocate tab, shave bumper.. and dial some camber.. you'll be set.. no need to run 235 tires in the front either

^ but I would run 225's in the front just to be safe. Not much of a difference between 235 and 225. I've had both and it's not that big of a difference. Plus the steering will feel tighter with a 225 as opposed to a 235 on an 8.5 inch rim.

i think 18's are better than 17's. just depends on the wheel and 18 inch tires have less sidewall flex compared to 17's.
