    Bolt pattern will be 4x100mm. NEVER get rims with less than 40mm offset. 42mm, 43mm and 45mm are fine and possibly necessary depending on rim size and what tire you want to run.

    Keep in mind that it's a good idea to keep the weight of each rim to 18lbs or less, unless you don't care about acceleration. (Has nothing to do with racing).

    In 17" run 205/40-17" not only is it the ONLY! plus size for 17", it is the only size that will not give you problems with rubbing. You might be able to run 215/40-17 with 45mm offset, but your speedo will be off a bit and I cannot guarantee it will not rub. Anytime a member has tried a taller or wider 17" tire they have experienced problems, I can't recommend that, stick with 205/40-17

    For 18" it is really important that you get the right offset.
    ONLY run with 43mm or better yet 45MM, should be easy to find them with the 45mm offset. And you have to go with 215/35-18 tire size.

    I did not list those site because they do not list rim offset info when you shopping online, even though they have a great seletion. If they at least do list the model of rim at the site, you should be able to do a search on google, and go to the manufactures site to see what offset's are actually avaliable.
