I know that Volk and Work have wheels that with a 4 lug bolt pattern with offsets from +15mm to +35mm. Falken has a wheel called the Hanabi which is a 17x9 +20mm. 235's, not a problem. 245's, will work. 255's, probably depending on what kind of fenders you have.

Thanks for the info.

I'm going to have to get on the phone with some of these places because none of their dealers list them in those sizes. The Falken Hanabi would be perfect if I could find it in a size other than 17x7.5 et42.

I am doing some of my own resarch and wanted to get the gram light 57s but the site only has 17 x 8.5s +22 offset. Would those fit a 1990 fastback with coil-overs? Probably gonna run a 225/45 tire on there.

Well maybe if he was 5 lug. No to many low offest options for 4 lug.

And not everyone is as hardcore as us.

So its either the gramlights in a 17x8.5 +20 or the 5zigen in a 17x9 +35. I am thinking the gramlights as of now with a 235/45 tire.

I don't see how Volk Gramlight 17x8.5 rims with a +20 offset is coping out but maybe I have beter plans for the $900 for the 5 lug conversion.

Because to me 8.5 + 20 is weak sauce.

Take a look at my location, you have any idea how much it is snowing right now? Very crazy around here, I might end up going with some 17x9(.5? )s it just depends on if I want to get the 20mm widder fenders for the front and I am working on finshing suspension before doing anything else.

BTW: What wheel set and tire are you running on your car? I checked your website but it didn't have much info. Cool videos tho.
