Hey guys, I've been searching for ages for decent wheels that are available in 17x8.5, with our 5x114.3mmm lug fitment, and most definitely having an offset of between +30 to +45. Is there anyone who has that size for our cars?! I've searched on Rota Australia, Vision R, Koya, Speedy, West State Tyres etc... essentially no-one has 17x8.5 for me!
The reasoning is that I want to lose a bit more weight, gain some acceleration, and soak up some potholes without going wider than I already have. I currently have Rotas in 18x8.5 with +44 offset, tyres are 245/35, which makes for a good ride for sure but bumps can be a pain sometimes and I know a 17" wheel with more rubber can carry a closer weight to the stockers and give me some more comfort with pretty much the same contact patch.
Would it even be worth it to keep looking for this size compared to my current setup? Or would trying to grab 17x9 Rotas with +35 offsets and 255-wide tyres be better? Am I just not looking hard enough??
Thanks in advance!
