im looking to buy new rims within the next 2 days. i was looking on tire rack and found these sparco assetto rims that looked pretty nice. i just need help with finding out if it will fit or not. another thing is figuring out what color to get...i was looking at either black, matte graphite, or gold. i feel like the gold is nice but i dont know about gold rims on a daily driver. and i have red painted calipers by the way, and my car is red and lowered..ill post a pic up

the 17's are 17x7.5
offset: +45mm
Backspacing: 6.02"

the 18's are 18x8
offset: +45mm
Backspacing: 6.25"

That's my car right now with my current rims.. I have a bent rim and it shakes the car too much and I don't want it causing problems. I'm sick of feeling the vibrations

Both should fit without any issues as long as you get the recommended tire sizes. 225/40/18 for the 18"s, no idea on the 17" as I haven't ran 17" in a long time.

Do you have any pics of the car with the gold rims? Please share

I'm a fan of gold personally, the shade can make it tacky sometimes so I'm picky on my golds. Nice find on the 5x108 wheels, seems to be slowly more common to find.

I think Matte Graphite will look the best. Black wheels don't pop and gold doesn't always flow the best. The graphite is neutral and should flow pretty well. Pull the helpers and perches out of those coilovers!
I think I'm gonna go for the 18's in matte graphite

But with the 18's the backspacing is 6.25"... Will they fit?
