Hey guys,
Thinking of getting some new wheels, I want a bit of a tougher look (I suppose you could call it stance, just not in the slammed and stretched sense) than I have with these cheap 17x7's, specifically looking into a 16x7 +40 Rota Grid with 225/45 rubber.
Is the stock SP20/SR2 wheel +45 offset?
Do you think these will fit? Car is lowered on Koni yellows and king springs.
I used this tool (http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp), calculating form the stock 195/50 16 (and assuming +45 offset) and it spat out the following:
Package is 10 mm (0.4'') closer to suspension/brakes components. Acceptable for most cars.
Package will stick out 20 mm (0.8'') farther. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider narrower tires or higher offset.
Will fill out the wheelwell by extra 3 mm. Almost no difference
What are your thoughts? On the wheel style? on bronze? on fitment?
Cheers for replies!
