Default Will I rub?

My friend with a Silvia recently told me that he was gonna sell his Advan RG's and he was gonna give me a real good deal, but his offset is a little lower than what I know as the S2K's offset. Basically, I was wondering if there would be alot of problems trying to fit these rims on my car, and if it would ok.

Wheel Specs:

17 x 7.5 +43mm ---------> should be approximately +48mm
17 x 8.5 +37mm ---------> should be approximately +48mm

Thats not too large in difference since 10mm is only one centimeter but I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some professional advice because I really love the way these rims look.

If you're not lowered, you should be ok, but keep in mind, the rear will stick out slightly. If you plan to lower your car, you'll rub often, even w/ high camber.

If your friend's willing to, maybe you can buy them from him, sell them to an s13/s14 owner for a bit of profit, and use that to get yourself a set of RG2s...just a thought, but check w/ u'r friend to make sure he doesn't wanna make the profit instead.

Your "should be's" are even off.


17 x 7.5 ---------> should be no less than +50mm with a 225 tire
17 x 8.5 ---------> should be no less than +55mm with a 255 tire
