Are the faces the same on these offsets? 17x7.5+48 8+45 and 8+35??? Are they identical besides the backspacing?

I think the 7.5 +48 and 8 +45 look the same but the 8 +35 has a much deeper lug dish area. Easily an inch deeper than the +45.

The wider wheels and lower offset are going to look a little different. The lip size is not much different from wheel to wheel though.

The 8" +35 does not have the concave spokes, it will look very similar to your current setup with the spacer.

I know its not concave but its a little wider wheel and it will give me more room with a 215/45 tire! And its 5mm more than my set up now! Since the 9's are on backorder I was cosidering the 8 +35's.

Hi Jim, do you have 17x9 +45 or even 17x8.5 in stock? I'd like to buy some light track rims before the end of the season.

No one seems to have them in stock and used are running 90% of retail.

Anyone know if anyone has them in stock?

Thanks.
