Hello

I want to put 17" Motegi Racing FF7 GunMetal clear coat with polished lip rims. 4 lug with +42mm offset(I don't even know what +42mm offset means)

Tires I want are Nexen N7000

Should I put a spacer on or are the rims gonna be flush with the car????

I am really new to this car & putting rims on something.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

NO, you do NOT want to use spacers!

 

If you use spacers, Use H&R spacers. If you can get them specific to your car, H&R's match the hub and hub center so there is NO slop or wobble. You will need to install longer ARP lugs to do it right, H&R sells them as a kit for some cars.

Cheap spacers will severely screw up eventually..

Make sure you have a selection of tires you like in 17" ,, I have found in the past some sizes are un-obtanium in 17"

 

OP was from 2015... why res this thread?

 

For anyone who comes across this thread in the future who wants to see an answer to the OPs' question!
A 17x7" +42 wheel is the max spec for the average person who wants a healthier looking wheel and to lower the car a bit.
If the OPP does a 5, 10, 15 or 20mm spacer with this spec wheel it is gonna make it look like a mudder truck!
