I already posted this on the wheel and tire forum but I think I'll get some better answers on here and I wanted to add another question so please don't flame...
I'm looking into getting new wheels for the summer. I was wondering what offset I should get for 16x7s, the wheels that I'm looking at come in 42. The 17x7s im looking at come in 35, 42, and 48. I rather get the 16s because I already have tires from my stock rims. If I shouldn't get the 16s what offset should I get for the 17s. And what offset would be best for a set of 16s if 42 isn't good.
My next question is could I see some pics of eucalyptus green preludes with some nice wheels on them, I know what silver wheels look like but I wanna see bronze, gunmetal, and gold rims. Thanks in advance guys.

 

Any help?

 

i really want to know as well

 

i want to know two...i thought 38mm-40mm would be fine... o wouldnt go below 35 or above 45 ...i dont think...
but im not sure...
some one needs to tell us!!!!

 

i also posted this on the wheel and tire forum and somebody told me that it will work

 

For a 16x7 I'd say you'd want to stick with a wheel with an offset of 45-50mm. Anything lower and you'll probably rub the lip of the well. You might be able to get away with a 42mm but it really depends on how low your drop is and also tire sizes

 

I'm on +43 16 Kosei K1s and the fit is excellent. Anything past that and you're in trouble. I've got the rear inside fender rolled.

 

so what if my car isnt dropped that low...
cuzz I want my rim lip to be almost in line/even with the body/rear fender.... not under the car...u know what I mean?? so what would you think would work??

 

I'm running 225/45/17 tires on my 17x8 wheels with a +32 offset. My fenders are rolled and I still rub like no other with just a 1.5 inch drop

 

With a 7 inch wide tire the reccomended offset is 45-50mm.
