    Need advice on 17x8.5 +38 offset

    Hi guys,

    From what I remember, those should be fine. And I ran 225/45 on mine.

    Thanks for the response. Hey blackdragon, are yours stretch on 8.5? I want that stance so it looks a bit aggressive.

    I had 7.5 I'm pretty sure. No means close to being stretched. But that's not my style anyway. Someone else will have to tell you if the 225 will fit on the 8.5 or not. I was just stating that those wheels should go on. Got a pic of them?

    225 will fit a 8.5, I'm putting 225 on a 9. It won't looked stretched, mild stretch but not like some of these stance guys.

    Guess it depends on how much your looking for. If you want it pretty stretched, might wanna try a 215

    you cant have stance without any 'modifications'

    youll need to roll your guards. lower the car ...and heck run a 235 to get somewhat flush with 8.5+38

    See, I agree for the most part. I'm not a fan of stretched. I like wide tires and being flush.

    Yeah, a mild stretched is what im aiming for. Ill soon purchase some coilovers and rolling the fender would not be an issue. Thanks for the response guys. How about some camber kits? Will i need some?

    depends on the brand of tire also, Nexen runs wide, Continental, Goodyear, Michelin, Yokohama, and Kumho run skinny.
