How does 17x8 at a 35 offset sound?

Cheers

Too big in diameter, not low enough offset

Im turbo charging it later on, would the diameter still be to big? How low should the offset be?

Cheers

Can you put such a wide rim on a NB?

they will fit no problems. use a 215/40/17 or 205/40/17 and wont have any rubbing issues.
Are you looking at the gmax 'drift6' wheel. 17x8+35 4x100 + 4x114.3 multistud?

You can put a 8 +0 on a NB from what I've seen

As mentioned above you can run a lower offset, but you may have to run smaller tires and/or flare your guards.
What wheel/tire combo are you looking at?

I was looking at buying the Enkie RS+M wheels, but i lost the website I was on yesterday, and now all the websites I look up have different spec's on the wheels......interesting.

I have a crazy idea, maybe someone has done it before, I love the way the standard wheels look, do you think it'd be easy to get them custom made in a bigger size?

That should fit as long you don't use really wide rubber, 215 probably the max.

I have 16 X 7 +25, so with 8" wide +35, it should be very similar. I didn't even have to roll the guard and they sit flush to the guards.
