Aftermarket Rims

Just debating on the 35's or the 40's. I cant wait to see what my new rims look like on the car

Sorry guys for sounding like a total idiot. So I have the rims that I posted up above and tried to test fit them and noticed that the stock lug nuts do not fit and the rims dont give a lot of room for any lug nuts. I didnt get any lug nuts with the rims. What should I do?
 
i have four beautiful chromies if anyone wants them also have two stock racing harts!! do you have to be careful what tire you put on 18's for the mp3. it looks like it gets really close to rubbing!!
 
You know I was actually browsing around for some 16in. white wheels the other day. I know I wouldn't order them but I would totally rock them on the spicy!
 
Sorry about the bad camera phone pics, I was too excited. Here are my new rims. Comments are encouraged.

So I have question, what is the smalliest offset that we can use and not get rub? IF I'm correct the stock RH came with +55, with a 215/45/17. Keeping with the same tire size, how much smaller of an offset could I go before rubbing...like +45, +40, +35

Oh yea here is mine...they 17" with 215/45/17 on them My offset I'm not exactly sure but its too much that I had to roll the back fenders.. Not even lowered..

No, its not your phone. I have an 03 rear lip on the car. I also have an 03.5 lip in storage. After I put the Vibrant exhaust on the car I decided that I prefer the way that the 03 lip frames and shows off the exhaust (and no burnt or melted spots on the lip either)

235/40/17 MSPs!

For everyone running 235/40/17s, offsets ~+48:

1.) What size spacers are you running?
2.) Are you guys using extended studs?
3.) Where should I get extended studs?

Thanks. I know I saw some people on 235s or higher in the thread...but its so tedious to go through every page...
