Bolt pattern and offset?

[Silver-P5]

I'm looking to purchase a set of 17" wheels. What is the bolt pattern for the P5, and what offset should I get?

Thanks!!

you're going to need a 5-lug with an offset greater then 48mm i believe...somebody correct me if i'm wrong...

I know they're 5 bolts.....just curious if it's 5x100, 5x114, or 5x114.3?

I need the proper offset, cuz i don't want the wheels to rub or anything.

Search for offset using the search feature.

This thread is a good one:

You will be fine with less than a +48mm offset if you are not planning on lowering your car.

Thank you very much, Gyre!!

I was wondering, are we talking about major lowering being a problem or any lowering at all? I bought the Pro-Kit for my wifes car and have not had a chance to put them on yet, but I don't want to have any clearance problems. I honestly can't remember if the wheels she has have a 42 or 45 mm offset. I saw that the other thread said that 17 x 7 with a 205/40/17 tire could just barely fit with lowering, but I don't want any problems since it is a daily driver.
