Default Max offset for 17's (Stop-Tech releated)

92 Civic HB - F/R kit - track car
Looking into Stop-Tech's, going to have to go 17's.
Currently running 15x6.5" Rota's with a 40mm offset.
By my calc's, if I go to a 17x7.5", I'll need a min of 27mm offset, or a 17x8" will require a 20mm offset.

If anyone is running 17's and/or Stop-Tech's, what size/offset rims will fit?

I think you must be calculating the offset wrong. I have 17x7.5 wheels on mine that are 45 offset. The offset is measured from the center of the wheel, so I wider wheel needs more offset to keep the outer edge at the same position.
