How would a 17x7 w/ a 40mm offset fit on a gen 1?

I believe that is the ideal offset, the stock offset is 42mm, so depending on the tire size you choose it might require some fender rolling.

I wouldn't worry about fender clearance. I would be more concerned with strut clearance if you use tires wider than 225mm.

DOH!! Sorry about that... I just kinda freaked out because this was for an ebay bid. I won, though! Hopefully they'll look good!

Dumb Question-does the offset of the wheels determine how far they will stick out? The higher the offset number, the wheels will stick out more?

No. The higher the numerical number, the more the wheels will be tucked in.

Offset if how far the mounting point of a wheel is from it's centerline. Positive offset is toward the outside and negative is to the inside.

cool, my order has been placed already. As soon as I get mine, i'm going to test fit 'em and let you guys know how it goes. Also, although I haven't looked much, I can't find the weight specs on these guys. If anything, they'll do so that a 13" brake upgrade can be in order.

Post those up on shocago when u get some rubber on those and have them mounted up. And when you put those 13" brakes on there I HAVE to see those. Big brakes=SEX

Yeah, I definitely will! I burnt almost all my Quaife money on other upgrades for the car since there aren't any quaifes to be found. So as far as mounting them up, it'll be a little while. They were just too good of a deal to pass up, though! I'm hoping the car is alive by Feb and completely revamped by April/May.. :corn:
