Another Wheel Question
Looking to buy custom wheels for my white 96,interested in wheel with a lip.I am staying factory size 17" x8.5 and 9.5 and as far as 8.5 and 9.5 that can vary but Im staying with 17" because I have brand new F1's. does anyone know what offset i will need to make this work keeping wheel as flush with body as possible.:Im sure this has been discussed somewhere else in here ,but I didnt write any specs down.

There is more that goes into lip size than offset...although offset probably has the most major effect on it.
Wheel style pays a large part as well. You can have two different wheels, each with the same offset, but one has a 3" lip and the other has one-half an inch.

ebay about 850 for wheels alone and about 1200 for rims and tires.
