If I go with a 17x7.5" wheel what offset should I run? I have heard that 45 would be a good offset but some other people are saying 38 or 40. What would be best?

Tire width on a 17x7.5" wheel. Most people are saying either 205-45 or 205-40 is a good size for a 17" wheel. Is that wide enough to fit a 7.5 inch wheel?

I have 17x7.5 ADR M-Classics. They are 45mm offset They are a pretty much perfect fit. A 42mm offset if you can find it might work a little better, but you will run the risk of rubbing the fender lip in the rear. Any smaller offset won't work well on the P10 in the rear.

I am running 205/40-17 and you cannot get a tighter fit. In fact, when I went from Scummytomo HTRZ-II tires to Yokohama Pradas in the same size, I had to adjust the camber in the rear a little and file part of the spring perch to get about 1-2mm clearance. Any larger tire will not fit.
