Does anyone have a pic of some wheels on a roadster in this size?!?!

My car has 17X7.5 40offset wheels. 5mm is gonna be VERY MINOR difference.

Nice, Thanks man! I am looking at getting rota d2's. i just want to make sure they don't stick out as much as mine do now. I want a wheel that will be flush so that when I lower it, I only have to camber it a bit to not rub and now rolling of the fenders or quarters.

I'm running two different 17x7.5" wheels - if you want it flush, a +35 or +40mm with 215 or 225mm tires would be best. +45mm will still be sunk in slightly.

I saw Volks with 17 X 7.5 +33. Sit flush with the fender, closer to +30 is better for good stance

this is 7.5 with +35 offset D2 and 215 40 17 tires

and to boil your noodle on how tire size and rim stly can make everything look different.... this is also a 7.5" wide 17" with +45 and 235 40-17 race slicks (remember, slicks are always 'oversized' compared to street tires)

see these are the exact wheels I want. I just want a wheel that will look good when I lower it down and camber it a little bit. I want a drift car look.

As for everyone else thanks for the post and ideas!! 8)
