How well would 17x9 +45 fit on a st185?

I figured cause I think the offset is for a brz/frs.
What size are you running on your car, +22 with a 15 mm spacer in the rear?
Or do I have it backwards? What about 45 +10 mm spacer?

I've got 17x8 +45 all around, I think I needed a 5mm spacer in the rear to just barely clear the coilovers and the fronts hit the frame without spacers. With a 17x9 you'll need an extra half inch of spacer just to bring the inside edge to the same place as my 17x8.

Hmm so do you know of a good offset/spacer? I just like the flat face on rpf1 and I know the 8 has just a slight convex.

Were those a custom made set? I can't find that size anywhere.

Damn that sucks (for me), well done sir, they are a great fit!

Do you run at all? Did you roll your fenders?

Just get 35mm rear spacers, extended front lugs and a 10mm front spacer and you've got the same thing as CS.

35 mm spacers on what size of rim and offset?

17x9 et35 + 25mm spacer = 17x9 et45 + 35mm spacer

Alright thanks, sorry offset is something I haven't been able to wrap my mind around yet.

Use this http://rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp to play around with fitments, it helped me sort out offset. Spacers reduce the offset so some info from the wheel fitment thread + some playing around on the site will help you sort out what you need.
