what rim off set will keep the wheels and tires in the wheel well? they can't both be the same because the front sticks out more than the back. i know this has been talked about before, but does anyone know what the offset would be for both front and rear wheels without using spacers, etc., thanks , Delos.

Well unless you plan on never rotating tires... then you cna't get different offset for front and rear. Also there is a reason why the rear track is small than the front, it's designed like that... you widen the track in the rear your car will be unstable, not to mention mad understeer.

You using 17 x 8 wheels and 235/45/17 tires? Recommended offset on that is 35-40mm, according to the folks at O-Z Racing...

Mine are Binno California 17x8" using 235/45/ZR17's. The offset is +40mm which keeps them right under the wheelwell's. The only thing that I've noticed is that they do rub when you turn the wheel all of the way (I.E. backing out of a parking spot, etc)
