Default looking for a specific fitment

Im by no mean any wheel fitment guru... needs the help please.

I'm on TRD shocks and Tein S Tech springs.
Looking for 17x8 or 17x9 wheels.

What offset do I need for each and what tire size is recommended. I would like to run 225 tires if possible. Pics of this setup would be greatful.
I've looked at the wheel guide sticky.... Not too positive im reading it correctly...

Thanks!

I mean, with those springs, your pretty much good with anything. They are a very concervative drop to say the least. The offset will really only depend on whether you like some tuck, flushness, or poke. You won't rub with any certain offset because you are still sitting so high.

My bad, I just saw TRD and springs, I didn't read it right. You're on S-Techs. With this, you are certainly going to need camber with a wide wheel like that otherwise you are really going to rub and might have a tough time even sitting in the wheel well without hitting something. But again, it's up to you about what style you want, and you're offset will go from there. The 17x8's you might be able to get without camber... maybe... but I wouldn't bank on it, and definitely not the 9's. You will need camber for that.

Low offset then. +20 or +25 or something or even lower. You'll need less camber that way, so then more rubber to the road as you say.
