Can anyone tell me what these wheels are? I think I may have asked in the past, but cannot find the thread to save me.
Thanks!

Can anyone running these tell me the spacer size I'd need? They are a 17x9, 35mm offset, and a 3 inch lip. Although the lip doesn't seem to be the actual mounting point of the spokes. I'm getting something like a 3" rear and 3.9" front spacer...no thanks.

I must have been doing it wrong somehow. I have a 4th gen rear and 2.25" spacers, so if you're right (and you probably are), they should fit the car as is. I was looking at the Skulte site, and it lists adding in the lip, which is 3" on the 17x9s, so that was throwing off my calculations.
If memory serves, the rears on that one are 18x9.5s and the fronts are x8.5s. Rear lip is 3.25 front is 2. At least I think that's right.

lip means absolutely nothing for fitment, maybe brake clearance, but not wheel fitment. The offset and backspacing are all that matter for fitment in the well.
now if you are looking to get 2 different width wheels, and want the same size lip on the outside on both wheels, thats something you have to figure out as well, and use different size spacers and offsets front and rear to get the lips the same.
