17X7.5 +48 or 17X8 +45

Post by Jetech »

I am looking to get new wheels for a 2006 and I want to run 235/40/17's. Which wheel is the best choice without having to roll fenders? I want to get RPF1's and the 17X8's don't come in a 48? The car won't see any track time.

Pick a 48 to 50mm choice to avoid fender roll with 235/40/17.

Good choices we include 17x7.5 RPF1 or 17x8 PF01 or 17x9 PF01
