hey guys, so i've decided to get a new set of rims and im stuck between to rims, need some opinions (keep in mine i have picked up a new set of 225 45 17's)

first is a set of drag dr 11's 17X7 in gunmetal

the only thing that bugs me about these is that with having 225's for tires, they are going to hang out over the lip a bit more then what i think i like, but i really like the looks of these rims

the other set is a set of drag dr33's also in gunmetal, 17X7.5

these will have very little tire over hang, but are also very similar to my current rims and not sure if i want to go something similar or go with something different such as the 33's. also i find that the 11's look like a smaller rim because of the 2" lip that is on them, and i like the bigger look of the 33's.

anyone with thoughts or opinions would be great thanks!

honestly, I'm not too much a fan of either. How about these? MB wheels.

its funny you mention those cause i was actually looking that those too. i like the concave look just have to see some more pics of them i guess.

does anyone know if a 17X8 with 46 mm offset fit? or is that going to be to wide of a wheel?

8" isn't too wide... but that offset is pretty high though.

I knew the 8" wasn't to wide I'm just a little worried about the 8" rim, with the 46mm offset. I know +35 will fit just curious about 46.

If not then I will have to run with the 17x7 +42

Just double checked and the 17X7 are +48 not +42

17x7 +48 should be fine, I think my 17x7s are +47... maybe.

Good luck!!

Are your sure? I don't wanna drop money on a set of rims and have them not fit. I had someone tell me that I can't go anymore then a +42 on a 7" wide rim

I'll mount one up tomorrow and measure the distance from lip to strut and let you know.
What size tires are you going with?

I had a 17x7 I think +42 and it only rubbed full clock and I was lowered quite a bit. Also for the 225/45/17 they didnt hang over too much in my opinion... I looked at it as a rim guard. I could lay my wheels down any direction and not hit the rim. Also if I hit pot holes the tire took the damage more so than the rim would.

thanks twenty4z that would be a big help, and i will be running 2254517's as i already bought tires

builtnboosted, thats a good point, nothing wrong with a little protection on a new set of rims lol
