: i am looking to buy a set of 17" TSW wheels for one of my 325 is cars, 90 model year. is it possible to run 17's with out spacers?
: i know that the required offset is something like 20 or so, any comments?

: i am running 16" rota wheels on my 89 w/o spacers and it is all good. i want tsw's because they are hubcentric.

: talk to me!

You have to know the rim width before you
can determine the correct offset. If the wheel
is 7" wide, you need an offset of between 20mm
and 25mm. If it's 7.5" wide you need to stick
with a 20mm offset. The diameter of the wheel
doesn't matter when it comes to offset.
