offset question

I'm getting the 5zigen pro racer GN+ here in the near future and I was wondering which offset would be closer to flush, 45, 42, and 35 are the options I believe, I think 35 would look best, what do you all think?

on +35. What's the width? And tire size you're going with?

Also, FWIW, and x3: In order for A32's to have both front and rear wheels flush, without having a staggered set-up, you NEED rear spacers.

Yeah, +35 will be most flush. What width are we looking at?

Standard fitment, 17x8.5 +38. Unless you're already set on the 7.5" width wheel in which case +35 is your best choice.

right now I think an 8.5" width would be a bit wide for my car, I think 7.5 would be best, maybe spacers in the rear, haha, in the rear

Why?? you can run a 255/40/17 on the 8.5s

17x8.5 +40 front with a 255/40/17 with S-techs (rears are even bigger)

I dunno, they just seem like a bit of overkill, plus they cost more, and money is tight, haha

Where are you getting them from??? try www.edgeracing.com
the diff from 7.5s to 8.5s is $14 each and the diff in tire price from a 235/45 too a 255/40 is around $10. I think getting 8.5s with 255s VS 7.5s with 235s is worth $100 any day of the week.

that's true, but then again, anything will look better than my 15x6.5 stockers

If I do go 8.5 what offset would I need then? they've got 22, 30, 38, and 48, I'm guessing 30 or 38?

Stick with the +38, you could go less in the rear for the flush look. But then you can't rotate the tires, and that's a waste on a FWD car.
