Offset specialists I have a question
I have a DC Integra and I want to put a set of 17x8 rims on it. Which would be a better fitment, +45 or +35 offset?
Also Im assuming that the better fitted one would also enable me to run the widest possible tire?
I dont want to roll the fenders nor do I want to run extreme camber but a little is fine.
Thanks in advance for the help guys

With that width, you need the rim to stick out further from the body, which would be +35mm. You might not be able to slam your car though.

With 17x8 wheels, you're either going to have to roll the fenders, or more extreme negative camber to keep the outside tire edge from scraping the fender. But then you also have to be careful to not rub the suspension on the inside edge of the tire.
You'd be much better off running 7" wheels with 205/40-17 tires.
Or even better would be 16" wheels with 205/45 tires, or maybe 215/40 if you want a bit wider tire.

Actually, I want to run the 17x8 because of the lip of this particular rim. I would like to run a wide tire as well but its not a priority. If I have to run a 215 or even stretch a 205 on the 17x8 then I dont mind.
So there's no way to fit a 17x8 rim on an integra without rolling the fenders? I dont mind running a little negative camber and raising the car up a little.
