Hi all, i have done the search but it seems the jazz gd can take on offset range from 35 to 45. But what i am not sure is the width related to this recommended offset range. At a moment i am looking at two style of wheels
16x7 +44. Work cr kai
17x7 +42 lenso

Will they be ok? Without any body work? I plan to lower the car by 30-35mm soon as well.
Thanks

jazz's can take many offsets. I'm running 16x8 +30 and have no issues, i know of others running 15x8.5 with just a guard roll. To me, i think a 16x7 +35 would be ideal for just lowered springs :)

yeh you will be fine!

i was running 16x7 with 42 offset all round on 205/45 r16 tyres, and lowered a good amount. with no scrub.

also try running both the +42 offset wheels on the back
and both the +44 on the front.
Because the Jazz like a few FWD cars have slight -camber on the back it will help give it a tucked look, and the front has 0 to abit + camber so its safer to put +44 on the fronts because they will stick out less.

always try to run matching offsets so both front are same and then both rear are same.

I run 15x8 +15 offset, it sits perfectly flush with the fender with 195/50s and some DIY camber modding. I think the fronts can only take up to +15 on 8 wides before it looks too much.

how is the rear on that setup. from memory the rear needed a somewhat aggresive offset to be flush.

well that is flush at the top.

looks nice, not my style of wheel though, prefer a racey wheel to the stance look, but gj
