Wheel size question

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to purchase some aftermarket wheels, 17x7.5 with a +35 offset will these work on the GE?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Yes they will work. You will rub if your lowered, but just turn the radio up. Or roll the fenders. Get 205/45/17 tires to keep your speedometer accurate. It will look great though, im trying to find some similiar sized wheels. I want 17x8 +30 though

Wow, that +30 would mean some serious mods. to fit. If you go that route a 215/40-17 would be perfect on that 8" wheel as the over all diameter is 23.8".

Serious mods? Not really. Takes 5 minutes to roll the fenders. Either way rubbing doesn't bother me, its just a noise, it won't tear your car apart or anything. If it really bothers me ill just add some neg camber.
