Im looking at picking a set of rims..here are the sizes..

17 X 8 + 45
17 X 9 + 43

eventually im going to lower the car but it is not lowered right now

Thanks in advance..

 

Check out the sticky at the top of this forum. It has all the information that you need to figure this out for yourself.

 

They won't work.

 

Thanks for the quick help with the wheels. I appreciate everyones help.
Just to let you know xviper i'm not trying to be a dick but I have a real hard time understanding the sticky named " Wheel Fitment Guide, Look here for information on offsets"

I have never bought rims for any car before and I find the post confusing because of the following:


"For instance on the rear, it's said that a 40 offset on an 8" wheel is about the MAXIMUM without having a rubbing problem."

"For the front, it's said that an offset of 48 with a 7.5 " wheel is about the MAXIMUM before you start having problems with rubbing."

"Using the above data and an offset calculator to extrapolate, we get the following MINIMUM recommended offsets"

For the front
7.5" wheel: +48 offset (205, or 215 tires)

For the rear:
8.0" wheel: +40 offset (225 or 235 tires)

so is the offset MINIMUM or MAXIMUM or for that matter both? Are these the only offsets that work based on the above mentioned wheel size, "proper" alignment, recommended tires and non modified fenders?

thanks again for your help.

 

Understood. I guess even with that guide, if you're not familiar with dealing in offsets, widths, etc, it may still be hard to decipler.

At least Jim gave you the definitive answer for your question.
