I have a 95 gsx, and i'm wondering if this set of rims would fit my car.

Its size is 17x7.5 and offset is 35.
I have never ordered online before, so i'm unsure if i can ask to have them change the sets and stuff, but would that size and offset be fine and not rub?
VFaq doesn't have 17x7.5.
Should fit very nice. What size tire are you going to go with? 225/45/17?
Nice looking rim too, btw.

anyone know of any rubbing issues with the wheel at full lock on a 35offset? Just making sure, I have no clue.

I just picked up some 17" Volks for my 1G, they are a 40mm offset, fit perfectly on my car. The 2G's have a little more play space available for wider wheels or offsets. I think they may stick out a hair though. I don't remember and am too lazy to double check.

oo, i see.
Thanks for the input guys, replying kinda late, but thanks again.
So 17x7.5 would work with a +35 offset.
I was just curious due to vfaq saying that a 17x8 with a 35 offset would rub rear fender and with lowering springs. Thats just a .5 difference, so thats why i was just wondering. I do plan to get a new suspension coming soon too thats why i am just a bit afraid of that rubbing.
So if you guys see a stock looking red 2g in the summer with them wheels, thats me.
Also, curious, what would look better for the red 2g - Gunmetal, Silver, or Bronze?

Also TKRperformance, how did those wheels work for you?
I don't want to end up driving my winter tires all season
+1 for bronze but any of those colors would work.
