39+
I was thinking about the Niche Haaz chrome rims. 17x7.5 .. these are probably one of the best looking rims in my opinion.. the only problem is the 39+ offset.. did a search and went through alot of past threads.... everyone says a 45+ offset is the minimum.. but occasionally i see someone with a 39 offset as well.... can someone please give me suggestions... Is it possible with wheel spacers.. anything............

7.5" with a +39 offset will rub prety bad. Wheel spacers will only make it worse, pushing the wheel further out of the wheel well.
You really need to go +45 at minimum on a 7.5" wheel.

spacers extend the rotor hat farther out, basically creating less fender lip clearance, so the wheel ends up being pushed farther out of the wheel well. if it does not fit already, spacers will make it worse! i take it you don't see this...
imagine this...
- you are on a basketball court, the ground is the rotor hat where the wheel mounts and the basket rim is the fender lip on the car.
- your head is the outer lip of the wheel
- standard basketball rim distance from the ground is 10ft i think
- now it's all good if the person is 10ft or shorter...he won't hit his head
- but once you put a 1ft deck on the ground, a 10ft+ person will probably hit the rim
- a 9ft person or shorter will make it
