offset can be scary...

[racer x 3]

... if your a little slow like i am.

i have an 04 3s sedan.
we all know now that the OEM wheel/tire sizing is such:
16"x6.5" ET:52.5mm 205/55/16

i want to get a wheel/tire pkg. sized:
17"x 7" ET:40 mm 225/45/17
sales rep (good guy) at edgeracing.com guarantees fitment but i would like to get some other opinions.... even though the overall profile is almost a match i just worry about fender rub with that offset being what it is. .... overall package is like .7 inches further out or something to that affect...

i should mention that the car is not lowered at all

please help out if you can... thanks in advance guys.

one day i will be at a point where I will be able to answer more than three questions a month....

...one day.

i am running a 7.5" wide wheel with a 43mm offset lowered on eibachs... so i would think that a 7" wide wheel with 40mm offset with out being lowered should be fine.
