Thanks! As I'm going to put drop spindels on it, will the pluss 20 affect my turn radius much? Maybe I should go for the zero offset...

I used to have a wheel shop , if i recall we didn't have 20+ just 19 and 25 then . If that is true then it's to much and you will rub up front . I also think there is a method of adding and subtracting MM to figure out the offstes in basic numbers 19 and 25 in between those but i for get it . plus 19 = 5.25 plus 25 = 5.5 | | | Re: Hammer got a Chevy van "Temptation" | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 253 enthusiast | enthusiast Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 253 | If it's a 17x8 20+ will run you between 5.25 and 5.5 back space .

Yes, they are 17x8's
