Looking for some help with wheels
Looking at some rare rims (its a secret) they are 17x7 offset +32.
Those should fit, but what size tire can I run?? Thanks, I know I post a lot of these noob wheel questions, but I am unfamiliar with aftermarket wheels.

A request for you. Can you please place your request in the proper sub-forum? Thank you very much and good luck with your new wheels and tires.
My input is to select a tire you like and then check its tech specs where you will find a recommended rim width for that tire in that size. FWIW, I have 17x7.5, 48mm offset with 225/45-17, 17x7.5, 48mm offset w/235/40-17, and 17x8, 53mm offset with 235/40-17 tires for my SVX. I'm not a fan of reduced offsets on the SVX, though many people use them.

there is no sub-section for wheels, only for Super, Turbo, and Ecutune.
But thanks for the input. I think that a slight reduction of the offset will decrease levered loads against the bearings. But what do I know

I ran a 17 X 7 before and 225/45 17 seemed to be just right for it.
