should i get these wheels?
Re: should i get these wheels? why would 8's look bad? i got 8's on the front now and it corners fine for me
some people on here drive on 3&4" rims daily and i dont roadcourse.. imo i could go even narrower and retain the turning performance i need while shedding unsprung weight off of the car

Re: should i get these wheels? that backspacing was the standard they assigned to the 17*8 f body wheel I do believe
it would only be a 1/2inch more than the rear.. how do you come up with 2 or 3?
please educate! what is the backspacing on a factory 16*8 wheel and does that share the same offset as these centerlines.

Re: should i get these wheels? I wasn't trying to be critical, I just wanted to make sure you took a good look at that issue before you ordered them with that BS. I reserched wheels for a long time before I ordered my TT2's and my TT2's are 17" X 9 1/2" with a 7 1/2" backspace if I remember correctly and they are about even with the wheelwells after mounting up the tires. Just do your best to make sure you get it right, after you mount tires the wheels will be yours.
Edited to add: The backspacing on the stock 16" wheels is less than that of the factory 17" wheels, I couldn't tell ya' why but it is. You might start by looking at the bs on the factory 17" wheels.
