yes but it will sit inside ur guards... stock offset is +45
+48 will be fine...
but +35 or +38 might be better
so +48 will stick out?
+35 or +38 is a pretty extreme there are a couple of guys in the states running that sort of offset (clubrsx.com) and it looks a little wired, i ordered a set of CE28 in 18x7.5 with a +43 offset, i wouldn't go much lower than that. +48 will sit further in the guards than say a +38.
http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp this will show you what different offsets will do
i had +38 on my dc5 and if sits very nicely...
i've seen +35 on another dc5 but then again, they use that car for track only...and it does look very nice
the higher the offset the more it sits inwards of the guard
a lower or negative offset the more it sits closer to (or away from) the guard
a higher offset will reduce the track and make the 'grip' stance of the car smaller as the tyres are closer together
So the best offset is +35 or +38 , Am I right?
Yes I would like to know best offset too, anyone?Quote:

+48,+50 is the perfect offsets for 17 inch. It could clear JDM brembo calipers without any modifications.
i've always been confused about what determines the clearance of calipers? i thought offsets are an indication of how the wheel sits with respect to the strut housing and the guards.
Given the calipers sit inside the rim, they also need to be taken into account when considering offset.Quote:
