I dropped my 02TLS with some Tanabe NF210 springs, about 1.5" drop F&R.
I am getting some rubbing over speed humps and dips.

My current crappy wheels are 17" X 7" with apparently 35mm offset and running stock tire size. Rather than work on the fenders, I'd rather just get new wheels.

What is a SAFE offset for NO RUBBING with my setup, staying with 17" X 7" wheels & 215/50-17 tires??

FAQ post says +42 offset for 7" width. So just stay with only exactly +42 for a 7" width, or is there a safe range of offset, say from +40 to +50 or something?

 

17x7 +42 or higher you will be totally safe.

You should have no problems finding wheels. +45 is pretty standard for 7" wide wheels.

 

please tell me where I can find some 17x7 +45 offset wheels.

 

How about in my garage...I can't post pictures because I am New in here, but they are white and they are round
and they are new and they are pretty.

What more can I say

 

There was a thread on here awhile back entitled something like "Places to buy wheels" that listed several good internet sites. Like NSXNext said 17x7 and 17x7.5" +45 offset are common. One site I've been looking at is Discount Tires Direct (not promoting them, but they have free shipping and cheaper prices.)

I'm personnally just looking for cheap wheels because I'm not planning on keeping my car but a few more years
