I have searched for wheels I want for my S and have arrived at these 5Zigen's. I wanted to make sure they are the right offset and everything. Of course, I want them to sit flush with my fenders. The car is lowered with Skunk 2 springs (approx 2 inches I guess) I am looking at getting:

17"x7 +42 or +48

and

17x8 +43

Is this okay for my setup? would 42 or 48 offset be better for the front?

 

The offset is pretty low front and rear. It may require a fender lip roll and negative camber depending on the size of the tires.
If I can help with the tires let me know.

 

which offset is better for the front? Are you saying the wheels will come out wider than the fenders?

 

If I were you I'd go with 17X8 and 17X9. But that's only if your up to rolling your fenders.

 

I have these in 17x8 and 17x9 i have +42 or +43 up front and +38 or +35 in the rear. i forget exactly what ones but ill go look at em next time i goto the garage.
I HAD to roll the rear fenders and run some camber.
Let me find some pictures and ill post em for you

 

before any rolling or camber adjustment







There you go for some fitment ideas.

 

These are what you are asking about.
17x7 +48 with a 225 tire
17x8 +43 with a 255 tire
This was an old setup of mine. I was running 1.5* camber front and 2.5* camber rear. Front and rear had a full roll with the rear bumper tabs removed.

 

Thanks for the pics! so even with the 7" fronts and 8" rears I will need to roll my fenders? Does anyone (speedworksracing) have these wheels used for sale??
