alright i decided that i want some 17" D2's but how wide should i go and what offsets should i get because i see cars with 16x8 with 35 offsets and they stick out then i see some 17x9 with 20 offset and they're kinda flush.

i dont want spacers nor rolled fenders Also Springs if it matters no coilovers

So, you want to be flush, but are not willing to roll your fenders? Good luck. 16x8+35 sounds like they were using a fat ass tire or something.

depends on what kind of car you have
how skinny a tire you want to run
and what you personally feel is flush

Not sure if this will help you or not, not the best angle but here's my s13 with 17x9 in a 20 offset. With a little bit of camber haha.

Ive never seen an s chassis with 16x8 +35 that stick out, unless theyre running jumbo tires or spacers.

The widest/lowest offset D2s you can get is 17x8.5 +20, which is 6mm more sunken then 9 +20. That should fit without rolled fenders as long as you get the appropriate tire size. Wont be that flush, but it wont be super sunk either.

thanks so that will mean a 17x8.5 +25 should fit without problems right

Just for comparision, I have 16x8 +30 on my s13 and the wheel couldnt be any flusher (is that a word?). I needed a 1/2 spacer to make them flush on my s14 in the front. Oh, they have 225/50/16 kumhos on them.
Id have to say that 16x8 +30 is perfect for an s13 but you have a little more room on an s14
