    I think 17Zs fit under most 17s.

    Well, I want to make sure they'll fit under the stock wheels. So I can test fit other wheels as the options come along to see what works better. I don't want to risk just buying a wheel and having to return them.

    I'm currently running 17x8 BBS RK with +27 offset and clearance is more than enough.

    I've tried other wheels with more of a lip but couldn't clear 17z's without offset being in the teens.

    hope this helps

    This helps, wasn't sure if 17's were a for sure clearance thing. I'm going to try and test for the stock wheels over the calipers. How do you fit that low of an offset on your car?
