I know that this topic has been discussed before, but I've done searches and can't find the exact info.
I'm ready to buy some wheels and I'm pretty picky, so the only rims that I like and can afford come in these sizes:
bolt pattern=5x120mm (I've heard this will work from several people. 4.75=120.65mm)
Front: 17x8.5--offset=15mm (so 4.84" backspacing) is that too much backspacing for the front? Will I need a spacer?
Rear: 17x10--offset=13mm (so 5.51" backspacing)
If these won't fit, then I can use the front for the rear and buy these optional for the front.
Front: 17x 8--offset=35mm (so 5.3" backspacing)
I really want the staggered look wider and deeper dish in the rear. I really don't want to modify anything. Will I need spacers? Will the tires stick out too much?
What center bore do I need?
Any help will really be appreciated. Wheel/Tire shops don't help at all--it seems like their knowledge of there chosen profession is very lacking.
sorry so long
