that stance is for show only haha, i doubt anyone can go fast on stretched tires if you want functional as well get 17's. I personally like CE28's no matter how many times its been done. 17x9 +54 rears and +43 up front for me. no pics until tires come in

yes that stance is not good for every day driving, let alone going fast.

I am on volk gt7's, 18's, 18 x 7.5, and 18 x 8.5, +45, all the way around, i had to roll my fenders, but i like them.

check craiglist, a guy is selling a staggered set of gold volk gt-n's for $800 w/o tires. thats a good deal.

just to give you an idea offset wise, I'm running 17x7.5 +45 fronts and 17x8.5+50 rears and it looks like the picture below. to fit an aggressive offset like a +35 you'll have to run small tires and 2 or more degrees of camber in the front, 3 or more degrees in the rear. so it'll handle like donkey and just be for show at that point. the lower offsets give you a nice lip on the work meisters but it's not worth it IMO.

Lol oh i didnt even pay attention. yes there are better deals to be had, but that's 800 or best offer, 700 for volks would be a good deal, assuming the lips are in good condition.

lol all you can see is half of her face...if that's how you judge girls cool, but when you're hollernig a girl next to you, and you ask her to step out of her ride, and she sits on your car and smashes your fender/hood/and headlight in, all you have to blame is yourself.

There is no way in hell those are +45. Unless they're like 17x10.5 +45 or something crazy. I'm not sure you understand how offsets work...because I could see that those are not +45s if I was in space.

I have 17x7.5 and 17x9 +45 all around. It looks NOTHING like that.

But using either my size or 17x8 and 17x9 +45 will allow you to keep your fenders close to stock and not have to run a SHITLOAD of camber. Plus, you can use decent tire sizing. I use 225/45/17 and 255/40/17s.

The ideal offset/width question is always a tough one. Mostly because the person asking NEVER says what the car will be used for, how much modding they're willing to do, how low they want to go, or what tire size they plan to run.

Anyway, here's shots of what mine looks like.

I'm sure the setup you have handles very well, opposed to the "show" car.

^^ lol you should probably mention the amount of modding/"fitting" you needed to do. I think you're giving off the impression that your setup is something that just bolts on.

You also never mentioned offsets.

17x9+56 with a 15mm spacer in front and 17x10+43 in the rear. they are for sale btw
