Running 17x8 Wheels... Offset confusing???

These are a wheel option of mine.

http://www.gmpperformance.com/index....heel&PID=67580

A buddy of mine keeps telling me to make sure the offsets are correct. Now, offsets to me are very confusing.

These wheels are 17x8. There is no offset listed on that site. I'm just confused.

All I know is I want to run those 17x8 RH wheels.

Not that it can't/shouldn't be done but I thought you should know that those are Porsche replica wheels. Might look strange on a MINI to those in the know.

I've seen quite a few Mini's running these wheels on the net. Its a euro look. Now, quit the thread hijack! :smile:

Contact the company and ask what the offset is. You shouldn't even be considering them without knowing.

I'll bet the wheel is ET55 just like the 17x8 RH-Alurad ZW3 Technic
