Front: 17x8, 32 offset
Rear: 17x9, 38 offset

You wheel gurus can sort it out, but I think the back are too wide.

Can you get a better description on the stud pattern than 'multifit?'
5 x 114.3 is what you want.

Will check up that rear offset too.... looks a tad broad.

yeah i'm pretty sure it's a multi fit 5x100 and 5x114.3 (i'll double check with him later), i was more worried about the offset, because the wheels are so wide :(

probably will stick out a bit wont it :(

Really? I had an arguement with a cop.. We agreed 2" as max, but he swore black and blue that FTOs had 15s as standard... 8O
Took me ages to convince him otherwise..
The panel on my door says 15" and 16"...

Yeah GS's came with 15s, GR & GPX had 16s as stock - so 1 inch bigger is 17. You're just lucky the copper was a dumb a*s! :lol:

17x8 +38 fit rears with approx 5to10mm clearance on the arms.

17x9 +38 is confirmed no go.

if u want to fit 17x9, u wld prob need to drop the offset by 25mm, aka 17x9 +10to15mm.

u gota fit it to test it.

i recommend 18x8 +35 225/40r18 fronts and 18x9 +10 255/35r18 deep dish rims for the show look. and lowered please.

lol
