Alright guys and gals, you helped me decide in an earlier thread between 17 and 18 rear wheels and the appropriate offset in the rear. Now I am looking for some help on the front wheel offset. The back is easy to measure for offset but the front not so much. Again I have the factory KH sbp front discs and am going with a 17 x 7 inch showwheels streeter wheel and am planning on mounting a 215/50R17 tire on the front. My question is should I go with a +6 or +12mm offset. It works out to be 4.25 or 4.5 inch backspacing. I talked to showwheels and they can machine the back of the stock 4.25 inch backspace wheel to achieve either back spacing. I had originally figured using the 17x7 with 4.25 back spacing front and rear but when they said they can machine the back of the wheel to add an extra 1/4 inch (6mm) of back space, I decided to go with an 17x8 machined by the 1/4 inch to get it to have a backspace of 4.75 inches in the rear. Now I am wondering if I should have them machine the fronts too to get the extra backspace. Thanks for the help and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
