17" Winter Wheel Offsets

[mercurial_dirigible]

Looking to buy a winter wheel / tire package through TireRack. My preferred wheels (17" Rial Lucca w/ 45mm offset in silver) are back-ordered until Spring 2020. TireRack does stock the same wheel in a 37mm offset but according to WillTheyFit.com, they will poke out a bit more than my stock Austins. Any idea if I can run these without rubbing, or am I better off finding a different wheel closer to 45mm offset? Is there a way to quantify how much poke is too much poke when buying new wheels?

8 mm = .3 inches


idk if that helps


used set off CL for this year sell them when you get the replacements you really want?

What width?

I'm running 17x7, ET 37 wheels with 225/45 tires with no rubbing on stock suspension. They fill the wheel wells nicely, too.

7.5" width. Wrapping in 225/45R17. TireRack says they will fit but figured the MK7 community knows best...

stock offset is 49
49 -37 = 12mm
the new rim will poke out 12mm than stock wheel that it is ok.

Yep - ran that as well. Ultimately my question is will additional poke of 12mm over stock cause any issues, i.e. rubbing?

it will be .47inches out more, thats half an inch, 12mm

ECS flush kit is 15mm front and 20mm back, I think you will be fine. its the same width tire 225 ~ 225 so it should be fine.
Assuming you are stock height

Edit: Don't forget, hub bore, if you need to get hub rings, and if the wheels are wider you prob need longer wheel bolt

Got it - thanks for the help. Bring on the snow!

Does anyone know if the Rial Luccas are 57.1 hub centric? I do not want to run plastic ring adapters.

Thanks.

Not sure if this helps but I am running Bremmer Kraft BR16's 17x8 ET45 with a 10mm spacer on front (so that they will clear the TT-S calipers) and a 15mm spacer on the rear to balance the front/rear poke along with 225/45-17 Michelin X-Ice tires and have no issues on my stock suspension R.

They do sell metal rings, BTW.

I hate that TireRack's website doesn't have a legit "Details" section for wheels. how do you mess that up as one of the biggest retailers of wheels? It doesn't say anything about the wheel's hub bore.

They are not hubcentric. Tirerack has no way of calculating this until you ad it to your cart, it will auto-populate rings or not.

Yeah but that's a shitty way for them to code their website, where it utilizes filters based on user input to autopopulate whether something will fit based on back-end info that ISN'T expressed on the front-end. Just print that data to the web page so we can see it! It's useful, and important in any educated buying decision about wheels lol.

They require rings and new lugbolts - both included at TR
