S14, normal offset is +40.

I really want the 5Zigen Copse 17x7.5, and the lowest offset they come in is +35. The car will be lowered 1" in front and 1.2" in back. Will this work? I've asked around, and some say that it'll work fine, some say that it won't fit at all, and some say that it'll fit, but wont be flush. Help! :confused:

They will fit. They won't sit flush with the fenders. They will be sunken in on the car. To get them to sit flush, you would need to run spacers.

I have the Copse's and because of a miscommunication I was sent +43 (Damn Wheel Max!). Mine fit with 215's when I got them so you have nothing to worry about. I have since installed 20mm H&R spacers with Nismo studs in the front. I have tons of brake clearance now and the wheels are flush with the fender. So I guess you would want about a 10 to 15mm spacer.

When you order I would try and not to tell them what kind of car you have or just tell them everything is custom and the computer program they use does not having any bearing on your application. Just FYI I have heard rumors that 5Zigen stopped production on the 17in 4-lug +35mm offset Copse (not sure about the 5-lug). Oh and if you order from wheel max they only stock the +43mm version. When I called to bitch about my order the guy told me all of their rims instock are front wheel drive offsets. Good luck man.

YOU WANT THAT OFFSET lol yeah look at your wheels. now take a ruler and stick it to the face of the wheel and measure 5mm towards your fender. now add the 1" difference in wheel width and that is where your wheel will sit in the fender..

I have a bronze set for sale with some nice 235/45 falken st115 tires. 17x7.5 +43 offset. If you're interested, give me a heads up and you can test fit them on your car.

Hey thanks for all the replies, but I'm gonna go ahead and pass on the Copse's. They're a bit too skinny for me to use in the back.
