The rim size should fit. It's the offset you need to be concerned with.

I talk to my buddy at discont tire and I went with 17x7.5 in the front and 17x8.5 in the back. I must say I got the 5zigen proracer gn+ bronze and i think that these are the best rims i bought so far. thanks guys

Mouse, those are nice i want to get some of those too

I want to run 225/45/17 tires on 17 x 8 rims with a 35mm offset. From what i know there shouldn't be any problems but i have lowering springs and plan to go 1 inch lower. I don't know if the lowering will cause any rubbing with those rims and tires. I was also looking at Enkei Imola but i can't find someone who will sell me a 17x8

I'm 114.3 x 4 and i refuse to change. Its just a daily driver i want to look nice and grip well in rainy conditions.

I had 225x45x17 but I didn't care for it . Now I'm running with 235x45x17.

None, except I wish I'd gone 40 instead of 45 for rear
