That about says it. I need (4) 17x11 wheels prefferably with a 36mm offset but since I am buying wheel adapters so I can mount them on a 3rd gen anyway almost any offset will work. If someone has 17x10 I would consider those as well. I live in the Buffalo New York area so unless rushman is selling me his you will need to be willing to ship them.

In reply to your question, "I am not sure what you mean here? Why would the larger wheels fit better after the car is lowered 1.75"? It is because of the shape of the wheelwell. The lower sides near the lower facia curve inwards towards the tire. At mid-to-full suspension movement and stock ride height the lower facia rubs bad on oversize tires. When you lower the car, the tire sits higher in the fenderwell and at normal travel during cornering the middle of the tire sits above the lower facia and thus has more tire clearance. The extra camber helps a little, but not much.
