Where will the outside edge of my wheel/tire be on a 17x9.5" wheel with a 46mm offset? I know 46mm pushed the wheel outward more but how much? Do you think there would be a problem with it rubbing the fender? Thanks.

 

Should be no problem at all!

 

This set of OZ Racing 17x9.5's has a 49mm offset. Your wheel will stick out 1/8" more than these. I don't think you would even notice it. At full lock, on a seriously lowered car, the tire might rub on the plastic fender liner.

 

This is 46mm on 18x10.5 all 4... Rears took some mods not much..

 

Those 18's make your car look awesome

 

Just keep in mind that a 46mm offset on a 10.5" wide wheel will not position the inside or outside edges of the tire at the same place as a 9.5" wide wheel with a 46mm offset. The outside edge of the tires with his 9.5's will sit about 1/2" deeper than with your 10.5" wheels, and he will have 1/2" less backspace, eliminating the issues of the inside edges of the tire hitting anything. He should not require any modifiactions at all.

 

Thanks 1996imp....
