will stock wheels + 17mm spacer stick out?

im contemplating buying the OZ wheels for the C4S to put on my C2S.

the offset is 50mm on an 11" rear wheel. thats 17mm farther out than where the stock wheel sits at 67mm offset.

the C2S wheel they have has a 65mm offset but i want to go for the C4S fitment to make it agressive. however, i dont want to go overboard and look ghetto. help please.

I run 15mm in the rear with my stock C2S wheels. I think 17 mm will be OK, but will be out a little.

Do a search for wheel spacers, I posted pictures.

I never liked running spacers... Not sure where you'll find proper bolts to handle 17mm (I know Porsche has +5mm bolts). Just find a set of wheels made for your offsets. Take a look at my Volks that are listed in the "for sale" section - made for narrowbody but with a more aggressive offset to fill the wheel well better.

I can't copy and paste with an iPhone, title of the thread is "wheel spacers installed" or you can find it by looking at all post started by me

I bought my longer bolts when I bought the spacers.

if you reread my post, im not going to be using spacers. i want to buy the OZ wheels in C4S fitment for my C2S.

the spacer comment is just to help you visualize

found it. nice clear pics but not exactly at the angle i needed to see.

if you get around to it, from behind looking down the side and from the front looking down the side and at a smaller angle would be great

I tried similar shots to what you are asking, they didn't really focus well.

I do know what you are looking for, the wheel is perfectly flush with the fenders in the rear.

I had 15mm spacers on my Classics with a final offset of 52mm for the back and 5mm spacers on the front for a final offset of 52mm as well. IMO, the 52mm is quite flushed with the fenders for both the front and back. An offset of 50mm will stick out a smidgen more.

I now have Kinesis F110 19 x 8.5 F and 19 x 11 R with an offset of 50mm and 58mm respectively. The front is a "smidgen" past the fender, and the back is a "smidgen" less flushed with the fender.

thanks, im trying to decide if i can live with the extra 2mm. also, my car is not lowered and that might make it look even more out, no?

i have had countless wheels on many cars and i think this one is close enough call that if i dont see some better pics or a car in person, i might just wait.
