What offset do you have? Also the ride will seem rougher then usual due to the very small side wall you have 215/35.

Yeah it's been answered a lot. I answered it a few pages ago because I was running 17x7.5 +45 with 215/45R17. I know we want people to search but I'll answer it one more time.

You have to run atleast 3mm spacers to clear the strut housing. If you want flush look at the previous page and you'll see what I recommended. Hope it helps

Oh ok, well its just like a 17x7.5 +45 rim. You are going to need atleast a 3mm spacer in the rear.

how about the front? only the back?

Yeah just the rear, the fronts clear fine.

Has anybody tried or considered staggered wheels? What would be the pros/cons? Ideal sizes?

Staggered wheels on a FWD would be pointless. It would only be for looks. The staggered look, if you haven't noticed are for cars that are mostly rwd. awd and fwd cars usually stick with the stance, balanced look. By the way guys, I'm gettting now rims until I have enough to do stance work. What's your opinions on Enkei RPM1's?

So Im looking to get some aftermarket wheels and I think I found a set that I like. From what I can understand after looking around a bit is that 17x7.5 +35 should fit well without too much trouble. Although I am a total newb when it comes to replacing wheels. So what should I limit myself to on tires? I want to fill the wheel well with minimal gap at the top of the tire and try to make the wheel as flush to the outside of the car as possible. Not into the slammed/massive wheel setup, id like something functional maybe with a bit of camber adjustment. Will the 17x7.5 +35 do this or should I shop for something else?


===EDIT===

Nevermind I found a setup Im gunna use.

sooo im a noob to the ra /jdm scene.
and im seeing that alot of you guys are running not very wide rims.
im coming from the euro scene and i am used to being slammed and wide, sooo basically what im wondering is if there is anyway i can fit 8s and 9s on the ra with minimal pulling

With minimum pulling no, with pulling and cutting yes.

Our Ra's don't have wide bodies like our older brothers; the Evo. You'd have to do some major body work to get anything like a 9" on. Although I think K3lv is running 17x9's. I'm not sure. You'd have to ask him personally what he did to get them to fit.

tyson you're from van?

I ran 17x9 +15 with pulled fenders, but they were pulled hard. I also ran 17x9.5 +10, which is my current setup. The fenders literally beat to **** and aggressively pulled. Going with a different setup instead of stretch tires now. Its no fun driving around in those
