I'm looking for some wheel with a good offset that sit flush with the gaurds, i've found some steelies 17/8 15p for front 17/9 10p back. what do you guys reckon i also have tien coilovers.

That will stick out wayyy to much.
you will need a 25 offset to 100% clear the coilovers
you can take a cance with 35mm but its a hit and mis, i have 35mm and my tyre(rim proetctor part) rubs on the coilovers)

I have 17x8 front and 17x9 rear +23 they fit well and clear the bc coilovers but I have to run about 2 degrees camber to make them flush with the guards on my sw20

yeah dont forget you will have to roll the guards to clear them in those offsets.
 
nate_p - where did you get those wheels from, i would kill for those offsets on my equips

hmm i'd rather not roll my gaurds and i don't want to spend an excessive amount of money on rims try keep it below $1500.

if you go 35 offset you will just get awy with not rolling guards.
for that price gorrila has some nice wheels, specially those BBS wheels

The BBS lm 17x8 +35 and 17x9 +35 yeah? look like they need abit of work

Yeah i rolled my guards if your careful you wont crack the paint. Purple5ive- I got very lucky mine are Work Stitch 3 piece jap wheels I brought them off a guy that needed money for a new engine in his s13. Just happened to be in the right place at the right time

I have 16x8 +35 (215/50/16) on my fronts and 17x9 +23 (235/45/17) on my rears with slightly rolled guards. Since I have a Gen 3 MR2 (96), there's no camber adjustment so they do knock the guards if I go over humps. I'm looking at rectifying this with 235/40/17's since 225's are deemed 'illegal'. I'd say all I need is that bit less of a sidewall to prevent this knocking on the rear guards.
(yes, you read right, I have a triple staggered set up :p)
These wheels :) (from google)

 

I think decide what you really want, and make the decision off the back of that.
 
If you want a "Stanced/hellaflush" look, then you will need to roll guards, camber, stretch tyres, and you want to get something 8"+ for the front and 10" even for the rear
 
If you want something practical that looks nice but not "stanced" I'd recommend just sticking to something that fits and doesn't look super tucked, so a something as closed to 17x7.5 +30-32 and 17x8.5+32 as possible.
 
We have a selection of wheels (which is due to be replenished in Jan), but if you want something in particular, you can always email me and we can find something for you.
