Offset Question
I am looking at buying a set of OZ wheels from TireRack.com for my 2003 is300. Here are the specs:
OZ Superturismo GT
17 X 7.5
Offset: 50mm
Bolt Pattern: 5-114
What I am wondering is the offset of the wheels is 50mm, will this cause a problem? What is factory? What exactly does offset mean? Does it mean how much the wheel sticks out from the body? Because I don’t wants the rims to be like a old school low rider hanging out the side. Also since TireRack is sponsor do we get any discounts? Thanks guys!

What do you mean conservative? You think I should go with 18"? I want to keep my factory tires. Also I am fairly sure factory is 17X7.5 as well, at least I think mine are.

and by conservative i am saying the wheel could have stick out towards the fender more to look more aggressive. once you read my whole guide you get more ideas about what i am talking
and btw, putting the stock 215 on new 17x7.5? i think it's a waste. the tires are so narrow, and the traction of the stock tires is pretty weak
