I've been saving up for new rims and I love the look of the advan rs's. I want to stay with 17's but want a wider rim for that stretched agressive look, but plan on getting the brembo evo 8 swap and want to know what to look for. What size of rim will fit on the 7g with 95 gst brake swap, will a 8.5 fit with 225-45 17 or is the 8.0 more practical with the 225-45 17? just want that slight streched look. what offset would clear the brembos?
This is what in looking for with a slight stretch in 17's

Offset needs to be 35 or lower, 8 should be fine especially if you don't want to do a ton of fender massaging

Would the 8 in width and a 225-45-17 tire give that streched look on those rims? Like in the pic above? YTour running a stretched rear arent you?

dang. i always think you are stewi
I would go with 205..
225 on a 8" is mildly stretched. An 8" wheel is actually 8" from bead to bead and 9" from lip edge to lip edge. I would suggest 215/45R17s. They will fit nicely still on a 8" wheel, and not be super stretched like a 205 may be.
215/45 is what ive been running on my old 17/7 rims and you can see how it is almost even with the rim......
And heres the 215/50's ive been running currently
Just a slight bulge. Was thinking of a 8.5 out back maybe. Or the 18's that are on the legnum above? Anybody good with photoshop? Would be nice to see what the g looks like with the 18's and a little drop. LOL.

Damn you got junk in the trunk?!
LOL, ALL the bushings are rotted and the struts and springs are toast, pluss it doesnt help that I had a huge ass box in the trunk w 2 jl w6's. Not to mention the batt is in the trunk also. Got the bushings and saving up for tien's and the advans.
