First Generation New guy needs confirmation on wheels

[Magdizzle]

Hey all,

New guy here with a recently acquired 2013 3.8 Premium. I am eyeing a set of cheap 17" wheels on my local CL and I am seriously considering buying them to put dedicated snow tires on them. From the searching I have done I think I am safe to buy them but would just feel better with some additional confirmation.

Will a 17" wheel with a 42 offset fit okay even as a step down from the OE 18's? I planned on putting 235/55/17 tires on them since from my research they are equivalent in size to the 235/50/18's.

Thanks in advance.

I'd recommend you install 1 rim on the front and spin it to make certain it clears the rotor before you hand over the cash for a non OEM rim.

My story. I bought a set of OEM 18" Genesis rims for snows for my V-8 on eBay only to find V-6 rims don't fit a V-8.

Craigslist and eBay sellers have pretty poor return policies.
