And Will I have a question. I looked at the rpf1 chart and in the 4x100 bolt pattern, they make a 17x7 with a +30 offset. Now could I get those and buy 5mm spacers to have the flush look? Since it would make it +25?

they'd still be slightly sunk. 17x7 is super narrow.

It will be a little while before I would be able to do it lol. I am just trying to learn what will and will not work.

I am no braniac about wheels but why would the difference it how wide the wheel differentiate how far the wheels would stick in or out? I thought that the offset made it sit out or in no matter how wide the wheel is lol. But again I do not know much about wheels. Forgive me for the noobness

I hadn't planned on running adapters because I'm 4x100.

I'm planning on running bronze Rota Grids in the summer on and I'm eventually going to run coilovers. I know I'm going to go with a 5x100 pattern with adapters and probably 17" wheels but what offset and wheel width should I go with to get the aggressive poke?

This has probably been discussed and I've searched but I'm kind of new to the whole offset and aggressive fitment thing so thanks guys

Offset only refers to the distance from the middle of the wheel to the hub. It does not take into account the overal width of the wheel.

Have a look at this, it should help you understand how offset works.
