    17x9 +20 offset?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Anyone running a setup similar to this? I am considering purchasing a set of 5x112 to 5x120 adapters to run my BMWs ASA AR2s that are 17x9 +45. The adapters are 1 inch which brings the offset of the wheels to +20mm. Currently on sport suspension..

    Those will stick outward 2" more than stock wheels if I'm calculating it right.....


    http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp stock is 7" wide and 45mm offset, right?

    This would result in ridiculous wheel poke. For example, with my 18x8.5 with a 35 offset, I am already right at the fenders. I cant imagine how a 9" with 20 offset would look

    LOL it will have 9mm more clearance on the inside and stick out 21mm more.

    Re: 17x9 +20 offset?

    -this past year i had 18 x 8.5 et 45 wheels with a 25 spacer and it only poked about 6mm.(rear)
    -tire choice would definitely be key in this situation. i think they would work all depending on how low you are also(poke of course)
    -fronts are probably going to give you a little issue.
