the offset too high. may need 10mm spacers. still, that may not enable you to clear calipers.
check with tire rack for spacers, test fit with them.

If I am looking at 17" winter wheels can someone through out the size and off set choices?
Like for instance 5-112 / 7.5 / Et45 I know this is once size that wil fit. What are the other?

I was hoping the ET 45 would work becuase this package that is 5-112, ET 45 17x8" is for sale in town here. I do not think the ET 45 will clear the brakes though. If you hear different please let me know if you could.

This is very simple. Test fit, or have a guarantee that they fit. I went through a wheel fiasco when I first bought the car. I was furious about it. I was told they would fit. Not only did they not fit, but because of the rim width, the spacer made it look like I was rolling through the barrio. I have 18" replicas on my car, and they clear the caliper without spacers. Even if you have to save money to get the right rims, do it.

I guess each rim is shaped different so even if an et of 35 was on there before for a winter set up it does not mean another manf with the same offset of 35mm will work. I will just have to try to find a set in NH or MA and go try them on for size.
