ok guys and gays, iv been thinking real hard lately........ and i have decided against boosting my car...... i know i know i know BUT iv decided to sell everything i have accumulated so far and if all goes well, get my car running GREAT as an N/A
idk IMO i feel like people that modify their cars now a days are just buying parts, putting them on, which is cool, but i wanna do more involved stuff, wire tuck, interior, stance work s***, so thats what im going to do, hopefully sell all my parts and get a nice set of wheels, pullies, possibly a unique custom header of sorts. but anyway i just know im not boostin. its gonna be low and slow for me, lol
so i took measurements today of my strut clearance, and used that cool offset calculator online and went wheel searchin...
i have a 17x7 +40 offset right now, and i have apprx. 23-25mm of clearance to the strut.
and iv been looking at various wheel sizes like:
17 x 8 +30
and 17x9 +35
which yes i know would poke about an inch, the 17 x 9 clearance according to the offset calculator would be 20mm less/closer, which is cuttin it REAL close, imo. which would mean spacers to feel comfortable with the fitment.
OR
the 17x 8 +30
which would poke about half an inch but move the wheel only 3 mm closer, much better imo......
but damn it would be sick to get a 9 in there, and have an effective offset of +30,
either way im tryin to accomplish some minimal poke

damn....those are nice too! so with the rim, there is absolutely no play or anything? even with suspension play if im on the road and take a dip as my suspension compresses, wont the wheels camber slightly? which means if they do, a little adjustment of the camber towrds the strut could possibly connect with it? or do i have that all wrong?
