Not entirely true, the stock tC 17 inchers are a 45 offset, so if you get a 35 offset rim, it will push out the wheels a centimeter. Another way is to get spacers that sit between the rim and the rotor.

hes not asking how to make the tires look wider (___ looking IMHO) hes askin how to push his rims further thn his fenders (again ___ IMHO) but i would go with spacers if your lookin for that ghetto fab. look but please for the sake of god dont do it
