i have called and searched the ends of the earth for 17x9's. found a nice set of dr's 275/50/17 but need a 9 inch rim. hre is the only place that could even attempt it but thats a lot of $ for essentially drag only rims. so im going with hre comp wheels. good luck.

Thanks Peter. Which HRE rim are you looking at? Which DR's were you looking at? I've been told that the MT SR's will fit a 17x9 or a 17x9.5 inch rim.

Lug Pattern - 5x112

Offset - I've seen...

+30mm, 32mm, 35mm Front
+35mm, 39mm Rear

That should help Depends on how wide the rims are though.

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/offset.jsp

The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset can be one of three types.

Zero Offset
The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.

Positive
The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.

Negative
The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset.

Our lug bolt pattern is 5 x 112, and the log bolt size is 14 x 1.5. The offsets are 30mm (front) and 39mm (rear). This is for the stock wheels.
