help fast please!

i chose to go with the giovanna kirin in white for my midnight blue mica p5.. but one thing not sure of the rims are 17x7 with an offset of +42 but i read in the fitment guide that says +42 barely making it... has anyone had problems with an offset of +42.... planning on purchasing these wheels today...

the worst that would happen is they will rub....

no....you woudn't need spacers...that would be the same as having a LOWER offset.....if they happen to rub...you would need to have that additional material machined off of the inside hub of the wheel to INCREASE the offset....IF there is enough material to do that.

That will work with a 205/40/17 on the P5. Contact us for Giovanna or G-Racing pricing. We own their sponosored MP3 and have great deals for the club guys on their wheels.

Let me know the specifics on the wheel and what you were quoted and where from. We can do tires on them as well.

Thanks, Rishie

i'm actually very interested in the g-racing seki 17" w/ tires.. i found some locally here in gunmetal with the chrome trim around it for $900 with a set of kumhos... so i'm looking for something in that style in gunmetal or hyperblack with a chrome trim around the edge of it.. brand of rim i really dont mind as long as they look good, as for price on a very minimal budget..... thanks for all the help ARD i appreciate it...
