17x8's.....245/45/17.....what offset? Bout to buy some new wheels for the SS as I sold my Z06's. Looking to lighten it up some and run 17x8's in the front with a 245/45 tire. What offset would set the wheel out perfect with the smaller tire. Don't want it to sink in due to the narrow tire and wheel combo. Looking at a 45mm offset, but would like to get some opinions. Backs are easy.....17x11 50mm offset with Nitto DR's!

My FIKSEs are 38 mm offset ... PERFECT!
