Default new owner-what wheel offset question

Looking for aftermarket wheels (17") what offset are the stock wheels and what will workwill work? Example, will a 45mm offset on Rota Sub Zeros (17lbs) work?

Just having the offset will not help you. There are too many other things involved. You need to know brake clearance, hub diameter, load capacity, bolt pattern and the width of the wheels. We have wheels listed on our web site for the car with all of that information already looked at. You would just need to ask who ever is selling the wheels whether it will fit. Depending on the width of the wheel I would say 45mm is not high enough to fit the car without sticking out.

You may want to run a stagger set up vs. the Rota Sub Zeros. Which I think only available in the 7 or 7.5 width. Plus +45 is not an ideal set up. You want to run aftermarket wheels which have high offset to help you support up to 225 front and 245 or 255 tires in the rear. Which usually means +47 and more offset, and use it with stagger wheels.
