Rota Jmag 17x8.5 +50 Fitment

Did a search with no results. Would like some opinions of running this wheel in regards to fitment and clearance. Picture in 4 bolt pattern but do come in 5x114.3 also.

+50 is too high of an offset so it will hit your front calipers.

Would a small spacer without extended studs work?

Well the factory offset is +38 so id venture a guess that you will need at least a 12mm spacer. So to answer your question, find some different wheels.

Dont do this Bro

Stick w/ what works. How about this recommendation. If you want to stay ROTA, go w/the P45R 17x9.5+30 w/ some meaty 275/40's (looks great. My best bud runs them on the street only & they look amazing)

I own a set of the Rota Gforce 18x9 and like them. I was looking to run a 17x9 for some 255/40 or 265/40 tire action. Rota has plenty options that work affordabally. The rim pictured just stood out to me. Thanks nevertheless.
