Offsets
Experts;

I "would like" to upgrade my tires and run either 16"x8" or 17"x8" on my car. I know fender rolling may be required, but what offset would be OK in both cases.

RE: Offsets
I have 15x7.5 in the front/back with et25 and it rubs a bit in the corners, had to add 3mm shims to get clearance. I had another set of et25 that wouldnt even rotate so ymmv.

RE: Offsets
found this site pretty helpful for comparing different tire/wheel options, not sure if it has been mentioned here before
