Would it kill the point of the car if i ran a 17x8 squared
the wheels im going for dont have a wide enough size with high offset for stock height.

 

It wouldn’t be the optimum performing decision in a wheel package you could make for the car, no. If it were me id look for another wheel. 8 just isnt enough for the rear. Chances are that it wont look very good either, with the fronts sticking out and the rears looking sunk in, if you stick with the same offset front to rear as well.

 

ok thanks ill start looking into something different.

 

But if you are not driving the car and pushing it to the limits the 17X8 and stagger the tires will work fine. You can run the 215/45R17 and 245/40R17 with the 17X8 wheels.
If I can help let me know.
