Recently came across a set of 5zigen GN+, 17x7.5, 43offset.
Only $400 slightly used.
Anyone had any experience with these wheels?
Optimal tire size for NB?
With the addition of a Rotrex SC system, would that compensate for the extra weight? Is lack of power the only reason to go with a smaller wheel. I think a 17 makes the NB look much better. I have to believe that the extra width couldn't hurt either. The GN+ is also a forged wheel so it should be strong.
What say yall'.
No, handling and braking are also affected by the lower weight. There really is plenty of information available on this topic. Pretty well established, otherwise more people would run big wheels.

Go read about the effects of unsprung weight on handling.
Well, it's done. I should be able to dial out the slight understeer the larger rubber in the back has caused with the suspension upgrade phase of my project and a performance alignment. We shall see, but I think it looks bad ass. What say you?
