Would 17"x7" wheels with a +55 offset work on the Vibe?

Post by BlueCrush »

It would have 215/50/17 tires. How would it sit on the Vibe with the +55 offset vs. the stock +35 offset. Would they sit too far in and possibly rub or hit while turning the front wheels? Thanks.Would they work if I used a spacer?Here's a pic:

+55 offset, that's extreme.

Yeah, It's not goingto work with the +55 offset. The wheels would be tucked too far in.These were from a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT.Too bad they were pretty nice looking.Oh well, on to 4 other designs I'm looking at.
