Rims

17 x 7
205/40
offset 40
it looks really close to the guard.. have about 5mm gap..
would droping it by 2" scrape?
anyone have simular rims and tyres?

+40 +42 which one sticks out more?

I had +35 with 7" wide Buddy Club P1s and that was bordering on sticking out beyond the guards. (Unfortunately I never got to drive it with the wheels on though)

I am pretty sure that I am now running +42 with 7" wide wheels and there are no issues at all...the tyres don't even come close to hitting the guard

Oh I guess.. just qouting the Hyper Rev book... according to their recommendations. :) I guess they are not that accurate or they are doing this VIP style thing that is so popular there... deep dish with extreme negative cambering and undersize tyres.

I myself have 15x6.5 +45 offset... no problem with rubbing aswell. I'm using 195/50/15...

so as the number decreases it'll stick out (+25) will stick out more than (+45)
ok what i'll do it post up picture of my car with the 17" not lowered.. and u guys tell me what u think.
jezzah

tyres should be 205/40/17
I've seen 18s on a jazz, they look hot
I reckon 17" are way too common on jazz now, get 18" and be different

yeh i know about the rims and tyres..
it doesnt really matter the size of the rims. is the offset that'll piss you off.

i have 15 stock vtis rims no problem at all hehehehe :P

lol ofcourse stock vtis rims have no problems
