Offset for 17" rims ??

[kraiye]

Anyone know what the offset is for 17x7.5 rims on an EK?
cheers

A 7.5 wide rim is getting pretty wide for an ek. For a 7" wide rim I would be looking around the +40 mark.

actually i just realised they're 8" (i got 205*40*17 tyres - according to google calculator 205mm = 8" :)). never noticed them bump or scrub, their are some slight marks inside the wheel well where they have touched on full lock but very slight.
unfortunately the rims arent marked with the offset :( i'd go to a tyre place to ask but my working hours dont really permit me

205 tyres dont mean ur wheels are 8"wide necessarily. alot of peeps have 205/40's on 7" wide wheels. i know i did.
offset deff needa be at least 40-43 for 7.5" wide

ok just measured - finally found my tape :) (and checked the rims, they say 17*7)
edge of rim to rim = 205 (same as tyre: 8")
inner edge of rim to mounting surface = about 144
offset = 144 - (205/2)
= +41.5
yay
