Ordering rims this week! Final questions.

so the rims I am getting are 17x7.5 and they only have offsets of 30, 48, 40 but I want a 35 offset. Will I need new studs if i got a 40 offset with 5mm spacers?

also would 215/45/17 tires fit on the 17x7.5?

i'm a touch confused. why would you use spacers if you want 35, and it comes in a 30?

no you dont need spacer with +30. if you want to put 5mm spacer, that means you would have to get +40.

I want the rims to be flush to the fender (I was told 35 would be flush). I'm dropped on H-techs btw.

if you are sticking with 215/45 tires, go with a +30 offset all around...

they will sit flush like a toilet.

I'm going to stick with my decision on the 35s. Thanks for all your opinions.

Now back to the question about the studs.

35's are safe, i think if you went 30's you would run into some problems with the fenders.
