17 x 7 40 mm offset ok?
I'm looking at a set of wheels,
http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?w...wheelmodel=RS5
they're 17 x 7 like stock. but they have a 40mm offset whereas the stock is 55mm (correct?)
is a 40mm offset ok to run? I don't want to really loose out on handling, how would it affect the ride pulling the wheels out that extra 15mm?

I'll second that, 18x7.5 42mm offset and my steering pulls me everywhere
