Default Anyone running 17x8 40m offset

Just curious what the look of 17x8 40m offset will look like. Will it be just a smaller tire on the wheel or can i get away with keeping a 45m offset on the wheel?

Stock is 17x8 +45, so moving to a +40 will move the tires out about 5mm, it will fit and look fine, but it depends what look you're going for. It will have a very stock look to it.

do you know where i can find an image so that i can see the way it would look. And if i took that same size and went with the +45 offset will the wheels be fine with that size of tire

Will a 18x8 wheel with a 45m offset work without rubbing on my is250?

Yes. Stock wheels are 8" wide with +45mm offset.

If you want to see what it will look like, just look at pictures of stock cars, that's what they come with.
