Is their a certain off-set that is better when putting 17's on the ITR. Im about to order some WORKS Emotion CR's and they come in an offset of +42 or +47. Any information would help out alot.

well 17's do provide a worse ride quality so that's one of the reasons, but not the more underlying issue such as being conventional for racing or whatnot. last, but not least my R will be faster than yours!! :mrgreen:

As far as offset goes, it really depends on the width of the wheel you are getting, i would "guess" that if it's a 17x7" wheel either the 42 or the 47 would be alright, but 47 is closer to stock offset. If it's a 7.5" wheel i'd say you'd need to go with the 47 ET.
