I'm running stockers. I'm hoping the +35 offset can handle the wider tires. They're significantly cheaper than EKM3s, and they look better too.

That's why I was hoping some peeps here had some info on +35s

How do they fit? The wheels OP wants will be similar just stick out 5mm closer to the fender. I think they will fit. The wheels I want are 17x8.5 +35 and everyone seem to think they would fit.

Just to let you know these wheels have an extreamly cheap finnish and weigh a ton.

The EKM3's are much better quility, thats why there more expencive.

But for cheap rims the MSR are pretty good

Yeah, I know they're cheapish quality. Know some peeps with MSRs and they said the finish chipped easy.

I originally wanted the EKM3s, but started shopping around more. Wanted a pattern but with more variety in color. Silver and black just seemed dull to me.

Thanks for the input everyone. Any one else know some one with/have some +35s? The more info the better.

I am unsure of whether or not the +35 offset is going to be enough to clear the inner strut. But again, I am unsure. Hopefully there's some one around here that knows better.

I guess what would be the best info' would be if these wheels would fit with the stock suspension.

Stock is +42, that means the wheel mounting point sits 42mm from center. Generally, the greater the number, the closer the wheel is to the center of the car. The smaller the number, the further out it goes.

35 is less than 42, so a 35 offset wheel would be further out towards the lip of the fender.


Make sense?

That does not answer the above question.

I'm running stock TC struts and pedders springs. I'm dimensionally the same as stock, but lower.

No clearance issues. Also, see above post on offsets.
