First of all I'm going to lower my car with H&R super sport springs. I was thinking about going with a DD 17" wheel so I don't have to replace the front ones. Is the 17x9" from American Muscle my only option? I want the back tires to look like they were moved out about an inch and it says the wheel offset on the 17x9" wheel is 24mm (.94") and the backspacing is 5.94",does that mean24mm wider than the stock bullitt wheel? Or should I just keep the stock wheels in back and get 1" hubcentric wheel spacers?

get the wheels they'd bolt right on an look good... it'd look alot better and it's more respectful to fill the gap with rubber than just to move the wheel over.

Thats what I figured, if I'm going to make it wider I might as well add some more rubber as well. The price of one good set of hubcentric wheel spacers covers the cost of one wheel. I'm going to get BFG G sport tires and the price of 275/40/17 is only about 10-20 dollars more per tire over 245/45/17 so in general to do what I want,it should only cost me an extra$200 vs using just wheel spacers. Will the backspacing and offset of the 17x9" wheel move the wheel out and give me the look I'm going for?
