Beyern vs. stock wheel width/offset

[T-FATTY]

What is the stock width/offset for factory 17s and 18s. I want to buy a set of Beyern mesh wheels. Do they offer a stock width/offset in these wheels? I don't want to grind/cut wheelwells. I want to buy and put on car with no rubbing issues. Will i need hub centric rings? Thanks, Todd.

stock width is 8 inches and you can get the beyern mesh in either 8.5 in or 9.5 in. I went with 8.5 in all the way around and wrapped 'em with 245 tires and there have been no rubbing issues what so ever. So if you replace your factory wheels with some beyern mesh and wrap them with the stock rubber then you will be fine.

Ditto. I have Beyern 5 chrome wheels 17x8 with stock tires. The Beyern offset is .40. Beyerns have a bore about 3 mm bigger than our hubs (69.5). About 40% of the people on this forum might tell you that hub rings are needed, but the majority, including me, have been running (mine for over a year) without any hub rings with nary a problem.

I had to add strut top bushes and rear springs to make the 8.5" wheels work.
