Default What Offset / Size?

what offset / size should i be ordering?? im getting some Rotas.. =X have no choice, i purchased my S with all money i had and poor college student who parents give no help whatsoever.. ive owned real rims before and rotas.. not much diff except the fact that online ppl give u more props.. and when u re-sell, u get alot of money..

so imma stick with cheaper wheels due to thieves here in san diego..

but back on topic:

what size offset should i be getting for my rims.. also tire size.. lookin for 17'' rims.. (unless u convince me 18 or 16 is better )

thanks in advance

-Jesse


edit:

which offset would u choose if given these choices:


16 x 7.0 +40 5h x 114.3 (would this work if i got all 4.. no rolling fenders and moderate to low drop..)


17 x 7.5 +35/+45 5h x 114.3
17 x 8.5 +35/+40/+50 5h x 114.3

18 x 7.5 +35/+45/+48 5h x 114.3
18 x 8.0 +35/+42/+48 5h x 114.3
18 x 9.0 +35/+45/+48/+50 5h x 114.3

There's a GB on in the Sponsor section for Rota with the correct offsets.

Saw your pictures on HT, you got a really nice s2k. Personally if your tight on money I'd stick to the stock wheels and save for maintenance/gas/tires/insurance/payments/autox events than invest in some heavier than stock rotas.

I went from heavy 18" wheels back to AP1 stockers and trying to pick up a set of 2006+ OEM wheels.

Exactly. Why piss away money on wheels when you already have a set? Pretty nice ones at that!
