What offset?

[GsXtUrBo98]

So I am going to be getting some new rims and tires in the future and was wondering what you guy think would be a good off set for me?

I have a 98 GSX and the rims are gonna be 17X8...

Got off the phone with Discount tire and they think I should get a +35 offset

Any input?

I was running 17x8 +35 on my 1g, and they fit really nice, so I'm sure they would fit well on a 2g as well.

what kind of rims were you looking at? I'm still pondering on these:

We put these rims (18x8) on a 4G Eclipse and it looked pretty badass. just a thought.

I was thinking the rota torques... still kinda looking but have my eyes on it

Too many people have those. Even in our local DSM scene.

If I remember right, I think +35 will stick out past the fender.

I think for 1gs/2gs a +40 is suggested? IDK.

Well I was thinking incase I do brembos in the future I want something that would work..

The 17x8 +35's stick out past the fenders a little in the front, but (at least on a 1g) if you try to run a 17x8 +40, they will hit the rear lower control arm unless you use a mild spacer.

You could run 18s. I've seen Rota's crack/bend easily evidently at work and now I'm not trusting them much (whenever using them for auto-x events). But if it's just for cruisin' around and looking nice, it'll do the job. I was going to say the Enkei RPF1s...but those are everywhere.

Something like these are probably what i'd do...but these are rota knock offs to the Volks TE37s
