Guys need help here...
if i were to use a set of 17'' wheels, wht sort of width should i choose? I'm thinking 7
wht's the perfect offset then?
I dont want them to scrub the walls
A set of buddy club P1 is on my mind now, but then i saw Ultralite W766 Battle 8x17

wonder if 8 will be too wide for fto? (scratching my head~)
Thanks!

I think mine are 8 or 8.5 so 7 should be sweet as a nut. But there are other considerations like how low your car is.

I was going to ask the exact same question. To go along with the new paint front bar and springs I was looking into new rims.
Yeah I was wondering what would be the best size and offset for daily driving. Trying to get an absolute balance of driveability / show appeal.
17x7's about right?

Go with an 8 inch on a 17. Will fill the arches up nicely. Just need to keep an eye on the offset. +35 as per the ones in the link are prefect.

lol, i do care to a certain extent.
on the inner wheel arch though, (the side towards the rear on the car)
there seems to be a strip of metal that runs along the wheel well :S, i might have to take to it with a hammer or angle grinder
