Default What size wheels should I get?

So I purchased my silverstone s2000 about a month ago and now I'm looking to upgrade from the stockies. Well anyway, I'm not sure whether I should go with 17s or 18s. What do you guys think? O and I'm pretty new to the whole offsets so I would ike toknow what offset gets the fitment close to flush with the s2k? Thanks a lot for any help guys

Personally, I'll be staying with 17s.

Offsets should be +50 or higher unless you want to mod your fenders.

If you want the "flush" look without modding the fenders, the WedsSport TC105Ns are an awesome wheel:

Front:
17x8 +49 225/45/17

Rear:
17x9 + 49 245/40/17

I'd go with a higher offset though if you want a larger than stock contact patch.

I think 18's look perfect on our cars (with a drop). If you are staying 4x4 status (stock suspension) then 17's would probably look better.

This of course is just my opinion.
