something no one ever seems to consider around these places is the effect of running such low offsets has on how the car handles.....you're massive increasing stock scrub radius, and decreasing the wheel rate of the spring.

anyways thats a pretty aggressive rear wheel, definately going to have to work those rear fenders.

17x10 +33 or +34 basically puts the outside edge of the lip dead nuts even with the outside (vertical) edge of the fender, with no flare at all..in the rear.
17x9 +28 or so does the same in the front.

so if you have + 20mm front fenders then +8 should put your real close to normal flush.....

in zilvia terms you could subtract about 20mm from each of those figures!!
