what would happen if i do get rims that is 40 offset 17x7

the calculator says its 9mm more does that mean i might rub the guard if i turn?

my car isnt lowered so does that have any affect? or shoul dit be ok to use? thanks

9mm more clearance meaning you have more room inside the wheel area, so it won't rub. however, your wheel will stick to the outside.
read how much the wheel will stick out, then measure it on your car, if you find it good, then go ahead. But becareful, I think it's illegal to have the wheel sticking out too much.

it says it sticks out 21mm??? is that still legal for our euro? sorry for these stopid questions i dont really know much about these things

does that mean from my guard the wheel will stick out 2.1cm? what is the legal limit in australia?

it sticks out 21 mm than what currently is. so you need to measure 21 mm towards the outside from your stock rim, and that's where your new rim will end up.
again, as others have said, +48 offset seems to be the best for euro.

yeah even +45 but no less....+45 or +48 seem to be about right.

from what the calculator says , a 17x7.5 +48 sticks out 20mm also soo not much difference as long as the 9mm more from stut housing is ok for the euro (not touching brakes, guard etc) then im happy

Looks like im getting Inox 1 18x8 wheels on my euro. Will this size be too wide for insurance if the stock wheel is 16x6.5 ???

Bugger, been told that they cant source the inox 1 due to a supply problem. Jeeze im getting BS'ed around on this deal...they reckon 4 weeks. Im gunna cancel the wheels and get them myself later.
