Yes. But why you want such a thin wheel?

Thanks fellas.....

Well...everybody is different and not everyone wants to upgrade to a 18 or 19 inch wheel. I made a mistake in my previous post but i own a TL and i have tl-s rims which are 6.5 so i was looking for a 17 x7 or 17.75 wheel. But most of the offsets are lower than +45....

that low of an offset with that thin of a width and you are just asking for crazy wheel hop if you like to launch the car.

You'll be fine if you're just driving the car regular

If you ever go to a drag strip then you may experience wheel hop, but otherwise you're good to go!
