I'm looking at a set or rims with the following specs and i wasnt sure if they would fit or not.

front : 17x7.5 offset of 32
rear : 17x8 offset of 43

I believe the front will fit but i'm not sure about the rear with that 43 offset...

any help would be appriciated!

 

Get them the same size, AWD need to be all the same.

 

they dont NEED to be the same size.....

 

Size and offset alone does not mean a thing. It is all about the profile of the spokes and whether or not they will clear the calipers. What rims are they?

umm is there any benefit with going with a smaller width up front then the stock width?

 

With that fitting, you would be better off keeping your BBS wheels. Rear offset + smaller width up front.

 

if anything you want wider up front...but why go through the time and hassle of a staggered setup to go narrower than stock?

 

first of all why do u want a staggered setup? the evo stock understeers bad enough, this combo will make it worse.

but to answer your question, yes that will work for the front no problem. the rear, you'll be sucking the wheel in more (8mm) vs. stock which may run into the lower control arm. Even if it clears I DO NOT recommend it!

IMO i would not run anything less than a 8 wide all the way around. Why would you want anything less than stock? That's like saying you want a smaller turbo.

if you want that staggered look, go 17x8s frt 17x9 rears but if i were you i would just run 9s all they way around.
