Need your input. I have a set of wheels that I want to set up for winter. They are 17X8 with +42 offset. Not too sure if this will affect my ride in functionality or appearance at all. The tires I am planning to use is the same as stock 225/50/R17. I have read elsewhere that using a different offset can wear down my bearings, any truth to this? These wheels clear my 07 AWD front calipers. Appreciate your input.

 

I'll buy you donuts and coffee for your input

 

thats very close to stock size and offset. You wont have any problems

 

Thanks Alan. I was worried about the 3mm difference in offset compared to stock. The tire 225/50/R17 is stock size for 17X7.5, so they're OK for 17X8?

 

you'll be fine, just a little stretch

 

225mm converts to 8.8". So you'll be fine on a 8" wheel
