I'm thinking that I'll just keep my wheels but add some spacers. Stock 7 inch wheel and the offset is +45, I'm thinking of running 15-25mm spacer bringing my offset to +30-20.

Noww my question is will the spacers interfere with suspension settings? Also what recommendations do you guys have for tire size. What is the best or widest sizzled tire for a 7 inch rim? 235-225 x 45/17.

Also let me know if any are for sale.

Any help is appreciated.

When I had stock rims (17x7" +4?) I rocked a 25mm spacer and loved it. If I had to do it again though I'd look for a plus 20mm cause it was a little wide if I wanted to go lower.

I have a set of 8mm spacers on right now. Looks better then stock. I was debating on p[utting on another 8mm sopacer but Brent said its not good to run two spacers ....

When I run my OEM Si wheels for my winter setup, I run 10mm spacers all around and it looks awesome lowered on coils and wouldn't rub at all. Now, i'm running 17x9 +42 grids with 245/40 tires, 5mm spacers in the rear. I'm rolled all around and I'm rubbing on hard turns and some bumps on the bumper/quarter panel screw in the wheel well. All depends on your wheel specs.

And 06_typeS don't run two spacers. Just like condoms - Just run one with the right specs ;) You can get em cheap on ebay (spacers).
