Default Factory 17x8 Offset info needed...

1. Does anyone know the factory offset for the 17x8 wheel.
2. What offset looks best in the 17x8 size?

i beleive it's +50 for the factory 17x8

which offset looks best? don't know what you're asking..the factory offset is too agressive and looks too pushed in on a gs, some people use spacers on the rear to push the wheels outward so it's closer to the fender well. the front looks ok.

Yes, the OE wheels are 17x8 +50. 17x8 +35 would stick "out" 15mm more front & rear- a little over 1/2".
Easy fit for a big car like the GS.

yup like everyone said, offset of stock is 50

imho, if you get 8, you can go with offset as low as 30 before it starts to rub
