Post by: SpeedLimit on April 14, 2009, 04:50:13 PM
My trye is botak and have the intention to change rim as well.

17" is nice but 16" would be the right balance. I got mine with 40 offset.

IMO, 17" better..
as can use wider tyres thus better handling and steering response.

Assuming same wheel models, roughly what is the weight different between 16" and 17" ?

For our 4X100pcd, which will have a better value if were to sell?
Thinking of changing rim like every 2 years and don't want to lose too much. ;D

not necessary for a spacer at the rear. +38 has got nothing to do with it.....

its not necessary. I added a 15mm spacer for added stability and that also helped aesthetics by makin the rim flushed with the body of the car.

If that case, then won't a higher offset rim be better to create a flush look.

yep. but then again, offset is terms of mm. If u took +40 and +42, basically, u don't see much. Hence, a 15mm spacer does make the difference obvious.
