kosei k1 racing offset
hi everyone,
I am going to order Kosei K1 Racing 17 X 7.5 in anthracite.
The rim comes in two offsets, 35mm and 45mm.
35mm will give me a more aggressive look (bringing the tires
out more to the body), but will it rub?
For suspension I have H+R/KYB combo, so I am lowered as well.
The tires will be 235/45/17.
So I want to know if 35mm offset kosei k1 will rub with H+rs or
do I have to go with 45mm offset. Also, does anyone have pics of
this anthracite combo on their max?
Thanks!

Re: kosei k1 racing offset
I picked up a set of those wheels last week when I was in Atlanta and those wheels are light , they were so light I gave them to my wife to see if she likes them, you want them to be somewhat flush and not rub how about 40mm offset, that is what I have and also why not go with 17x8, dont you think 17x7.5 will look lame?

Also Vin, what color is your car I hope its not black or that will make 3 black maximas with anthracite K1s hehe.

BTW, I don't know definitively whether or not they would rub with H@R, I do know that my old 43 offset 17" wheels with 235-45s came CLOSE to the fender, but this was with ground control coilovers, a full inch lower than your H&Rs at least. 35 is the lowest offset I've ever heard of anyone putting on a Maxima, I'd be wary. Have you spoken to TireRack about it?

nealoc...Sorry, my car is super black ...so now there will be three? Well if you guys aren't in NC it should be ok...
I am thinking about ordering one 35mm and one 45mm and testing the fit (with a rim mounted). This way I can send one back and it will
only cost me the shipping and the tire dismount fee (18+12) and
order the other three.
If anyone has any pics or has tried the fitment please still post
(you can save me 30 bucks!)...thanks for the input so far...

hi
I read a few threads here and there where
people were successfully running 35mm offsets
with 17 X 8s so I went ahead and placed an order
today with Tire Rack...
They are coming in thursday so i will let you know
if they rub and also put some pics up in case anyone
else wants to get the same setup (Kosei K1 Anthracite
17*7.5 35 mm offset 235 45 17 kumho ecstas)
i'm pretty excited

I've got 16" K1s with a 35mm offset. No problems what so ever. The rear wheels are perfectly flush with the fenders. The fronts stick out about 1/8", maybe, but I think that more a factor ofthe bumper guard on the tires.
