Default 17" 5Zigen Wheels

Hi guys, I have a 2004 Roadster Touring with the following wheels:

Standard factory 17"
Aluminum Alloy

Front
Size: 17x7.5
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 23.26lbs
Tire: 225/50/17 Toyo Proxies 4

Rear
Size: 17x8.0
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 24.14lbs
Tire: 235/50/17 Toyo Proxies 4


I want to install the following wheels using my existing Toyo's:

5Zigen ProracerGN+ 17"
Mat silver

Front
Size: 17×7.5 J
Offset:35/43/48 5H 114.3
Tire: 225/50/17 Toyo Proxies 4

Rear:
Size: 17×8.5 J
Offset:22/30/38/48 5H 114.3
Tire: 235/50/17 Toyo Proxies 4

Can I use 35 offset for front and 38 offset for the rear?
Will this wheel/tire combination look right with 17's all a round? I don't want to upgrade to 18's because the tires are brand new.

your front wheels will be sitting a bit more inward towards the suspension and the rear wheels will be close to stock stance since it is half an inch wider but +5mm in offset.

Put a 245 mm tire on a 8.5 inch wheel.

The rear is actually 235 not 225 . Is that ok on a 8.5 rim? A 245 would be better but I want to use the existing tires.

A 235 tire will fit on that wheel no problem. Will only have a little bit of a stretch look.

I would not buy wheels to fit tires. 20,000 miles and you are stuck with wheels that are less than satisfactory.

i would just not buy wheels at the moment. wait until these tires are worn out and buy tires/wheels together that would look better.

or try to sell your new tires.
