Test Fitting Some Wheels

I decided to test fit some wheels Ive had sitting in my garage for a lil while. I just fit the front wheel, yea, im lazy.

First thing I noticed - it seems my tires have been rubbing!!

First up:

17x8 BBS RK-II +42

Not a bad design, look a little small because they are 17's.... what's next....

The G35 wheels look the better of the two. I'm a big fan of BBS's, but those are small and kind of a high offset. Probably why they were rubbing with a tall tire.

Right size, but don't look as good. I'd go smaller and nicer over bigger and uglier.

I got both sets pretty cheap, so ill rock em for a little while. May leave the BBS wheels on, perhaps with a small spacer, while i run on the stock brakes. Once I put the bigger brakes on, they wont fit anymore and the G35s will go on.

I want to get a badass set of wheels, but im building 2 other cars right now so im gonna have to go with what i have available already.

Appreciate the opinions. All my friends like the G35s. Im kinda torn between the two.
