Angry Looking for after market wheels

I have a 1999 firehawk. My wheel size is 17x9, backspacing is 6.75 and my off-set is 55m. The problem I am having is finding a 55m off-set. Will a 45 off-set fit my car without rubbing. SLP had American Racing make the wheels for the firehawk and the wheels are discontinued. So, I have to go aftermarket. Any suggestings.

You are talking about the difference of 1cm, it will fit with no problems with a 45mm offset.

It all depends on what type of wheels your intrested in and your budget.

Many of the higher end wheels can be Fitted exactly for what you need. On our 2piece Billet wheels they can be moved anywhere in the hoop for proper fitment before they are welded. On many aftermarket 1pc wheels you do not have the Options on what you like many times. Some wheels are offered in a low, Mid, or a hi offset and they will require a spacer at times. Where as the 2pc and 3pc can be Fitted perfectly with maximum Lip and dish, As well as take car of rubbing issues.

45mm will be even with the fenders, as opposed to tucked. You'll be fine.
