Wheel offset question

[Ian_S]

Thanks Kaz

I know the exact sizes and offsets I want/can get, but everything I'd read on here and NSXPrime** indicated 17x7.5 et35-42 for the front.

My option is 17x8 et35 or et 47. et35 will push the wheel out 39mm which is too much, based on info from sorepaws who indicated the arch had approx 32mm gap left to fill on standard. As a result ! was going to opt for et47 (moderate 27mm fill). Of course that puts me 11mm closer to the suspension strut, so if I have to I'd use 5mm spacers.

You mention not going above 40 - can I ask why that would impact braking stability, if it's no closer to caliper than standard wheels...or it more to do with balance of wheel "weight"?

Would you agree with my conclusions based on the comments above or do you think et35 would work?

Tyre wise it would be 225/40 to preserve rolling circumfrance.
