RE: 16" or 17" wheels/tires?
ORIGINAL: BDM
I checked and the offset wasn't there [:@]
I found this doing a search:
"Looks like the bolt pattern is 5x100. I got a set of wheels off Ebay, ADR 17x7, 40mm positive offset, and they're rubbing on the front brake calipers. The seller and tire shop were both surprised that the 40mm offset is rubbing. Their reference manuals told them they should fit. I did some research in Yahoo!, and apparently what I need is a smaller positive offset, which will push the street-side edge of the rim away from the hub, which should clear the calipers. The seller didn't have these rims in the 35mm offset that was listed on the boxes, so he's sending me some 1/4" spacers free of charge. I went to Yahoo! again and looked up wheel spacers, and apparently their usage is quite common. I got a really good deal on these rims, and will try using these spacers if it will make the rims clear the front calipers.
