wide wheel question

[gamblesaveols]

just bought some 17-7.5 wheels for my 08 aveo sedan... 6" backspacing. looks to be about a 38mm offset. havent got put on yet.. think i will have any strut clearance issues... i know the back will be fine.

The offset should be fine, I'm at a 37 and it's alright. However for the height? That might be a little problem. Only way to know is to test fit! Lots of people run 17s here so you should be alright.

[gamblesaveols]

Ok I hate to hijack this thread (sort of), but I really want this look for my ride, not just because of this pic, i'm not copying you lol, but this is a look I've wanted for a while but just haven't been able to get the info I needed to look into it. Could you please tell me the exact sizes of those rims and tires? makes and models? part numbers? anything? and the spacers, where'd you get them, and what sizes are they? I'm going to be lowering my car, probably H&R springs, and I seen you say that was the type of springs you had as well. what springs were they? where'd you get them? and if i'm keeping my original struts in there, will I have any issues with my wheels hitting the wells or fenders? I'm in Canada (Toronto), so I don't even know if any of the information about where you got the stuff would be useful to me, but i'm sure it won't hurt. feel free to private message me if you want, because I pretty much wrote a novel here, lol. but basically this is all I want to do with my Aveo, get that exact wheel/suspension combo you've got going on right there ^..... also, how is the ride with those H&R springs, i'm hoping for a nice tight, little roll side to side and front to back. very little roll. anyways, thanks everyone for putting up with this rambling, and thanks for all the info that is probably about to be provided.
