Ok I dont know that much about the offsets and things like that so i need your opinions. &nbsp;Ok I am looking into buying some rims im looking at the Motegi MR7 or maybe the MR12's. &nbsp;Heres my question which would have the most preferable offset the 15x6.5 +35mm (MR7) &nbsp;or the 15x7 +40mm (MR12) and if you could tell me why?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

Either will be fine. &nbsp;The stock wheel size is 15x6 +40.

A +35 offset is a better fit for larger/wider wheels, but since you'll probably run a 195 or 205/60R15 on these, it's no big deal.

I don't know much about motegi's but to stay in a stock size, I would be more focused on getting something that's lightweight. &nbsp;Otherwise, most aftermarket rims looks silly in stock sizes, unless stock is pretty large to start. &nbsp;

The 7" wheel would be my choice for the added tire width you could run, though both with be equally flush (which is to say about .5" closer than stock, so not much).

Im pretty sure you meant 17", unless you drive those Big Wheel tricycles that looks something like this: PIC (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/toys/B00005LBSY/pictures/14/002-5965139-7472013#more-pictures)

I think he meant the 7" WIDE wheels.
