The stock 17x8.5 rear has 50mm offset, but if I got four of these would that do the job? Or alternatively should I get 4 made up at offset XXmm?
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks

This setup may create problems for you such as significant oversteer and you may overheat and roast your PS pump. Several others have done this with supersize rubber up front. The Boxter spec racing series is using 225/17 and 255/17 on all cars which is a good compromise between weight and traction. That is the size I am currently using. Very neutral fore/aft balance.
