R53 with 17s?

I have an 04 MCS and am looking at getting new wheels. I'm having a rough time finding info about sizing etc so I was curious as to if anyone knew if a wheel with these specs would fit.

17x7
4x100
hub hole 73.1mm
offset 42mm

Thats all I know as of now. Thanks

DC

It will fit. You just need to buy hubcentric rings to convert the 73.1mm to 56.1mm. They can be purchased for around $20 for a set of four. Whoever is selling the wheels might have it as well.

Thanks I'll check on that! Is the offset alright? I've heard mixed things about offsets with larger wheels on these. Attached is a picture btw.

42 offset is perfectly fine. You won't have rubbing issues.
