I've made my choice for rims
Tuesday, August 02, 2005 9:17 PM
Ok here's the thing, I decided to get the 17" Motegi MR4 - Gun metal, but I'm lost with all those number, bolt pattern and stuff. I saw that the bolt pattern was 5x100, so it mean that I have to get those one???

Finish Product # Size Bolt Pattern Offset MM Backside IN Weight Web Price

Gun Metal 2141-7717 17x7 5x100 & 5x4.5 40 5 1/2 25.5 $137.99

And as for the tire size I saw that 225 was the best, but what's with the rest..... Thanks

should be ok with that 17x7 and a 40mm offset, i use a 17x7 with a 35mm offset, i heard that any offset between 35 and 45 is ok to use, sounds like you picked the right ones

40 offset will be ideal. If you get 225/45 tires you will have the exact same setup as mine size wise. 17x7, 40 offset, 225/45.

yes they will fit and a 42mm offset is fine.

The fronts look like they are even with the fender lip, or out farther. Am I seeing this correct?
