Just wanting to know if my expectations for my wheel selection will yield that "flush" to the fender/wheel well look I'm trying to get with these wheels. I don't want my wheels outside the wheel well and I don't want them recessed into the well itself. I hope I'm explaining myself correctly.



Front and Rear

• Size: 17x7
• Offset: 42mm
• Backspacing: 5.65"
• Bolt Pattern: 4-100
• Rec. Tire Size: 205/40-17
• Weight: 15.0lbs.
• Finish: Light Grey Painted
• Construction: 1pc. Low Pressure Cast
• Finish Warranty: 1 Year
• Manufactured in Japan

The tire size shown above is recommended and I'd like to know how much wider could I possibly go without running into rubbing issues. I like the price and from what I understood about the construction method used on the wheel, I'm looking at a more sturdier wheel than gravity constructed wheels? All comments and opinions are welcome and thanks for taking the time to answer. I hope to make a purchase soon.

 

Those wheels looks very nice.I think that you will not have problems with them with those specifications having or not having a drop.

 

What year fit do you have? If you have a ge the front will be flush but you may need 5-10mm spacers in the rear. Also you may want to consider a higherseries sidewall if your roads arebad, you might dent ur rims easily with the 40 if u accidentally hit a hole. Maybe 195/45/17 or 205/45/17

 

The roads here where I live are not that bad. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA and the roads out there are horrible. The roads here in Overland Park, KS are nice. I live about fifteen minutes south of Kansas City, KS. I'm going to go with these rims hopefully soon. I just have to convince my wife!
Thanks for the replys, I appreciate you taking the time to help me out, comment or add your two cents.

 

Just wanted to point out, in case you didn't already know...

These Kosei's do NOT accept TPMS modules (as per http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...rand&dtab=TPMS). So, if you had any plans of installing new ones or transferring the current set... well, no dice.

 

these wheels look so much better in person, and i think they are having a sale on the orange ones last i checked
get them!!!

 

@Goobers........you are correct and a huge oversight on my part!!! I'm not sure if my state allows registration without the TPMS. I"m going to have to rethink my plans. I'm looking at the Motegi line up, what do you guys think about these? (they do take the TPMS!!)
