Getting new wheels for 2004 MCS. I am concened about offset and proper fit. I want the HP Racing EVO wheel 17x7 size, does anybody know if they are any good and does anyone know if a 35 offset will cause a problem when the factory offset is 50? Is the wheel too far in the fender or does it stick out. I plan on running 215/45/17 S03 tires (from the tirerack of course). Will it rub? If the offset is wrong how about ASA AR1 wheels with a 42 offset? Does 7 MM make that much difference. Finally, any thoughts on KONIG Imagine wheels?

Thanks for help!

 

If you are going to keep your stock springs then 35 offset will rub.
ASA AR1 with 42 offset will do better.

minihune- huh, would you explain this? 35mm offset is going outward
so i think he would rub his fenders than rub his springs. if it was 55mm offset
then yah, maybe it might rub. did i read your post correctly?

35 imo is too aggressive, might want to try 48-40 range and use 205/45/17's

 

I agree 35 is a bit agressive

Sorry to drag up such an old thread, but I really want the 17x7 HP evo's though with this information it sounds like it is impossible. Has anyone mounted the 17x7's with no problems at all??
