Check my wheel math
Looking for a new wheel, picked one out that I like. It is a 17x9 wheel with +25 offset, and a 5.98 inch backspacing for all 4 corners. So I worked out that I need a 1 inch adapter in the front and no adapters in the back, in order to clear everything. However, I believe that running a 1.25 inch adapter, on all 4 corners, will get the edge of the wheel more or less flush with the fender lip.
If I am wrong, please correct me. Any input is welcome!

Re: Check my wheel math
you would need atleast an inch all around but 1.25 will look better imo

Thanks for the reply! My spacers got here today (1.25 all around) and my wheels are scheduled to be here tomorrow.

Re: Check my wheel math
Gonna be a few more days, the distributor sent me three black wheels (like I ordered) and one chrome one. So there is more waiting in my future.
