Help Sizing new 16/17 Wheels

[Full Octane]

We currently have Forgeline 16/17 wheels with the following tire sizes. After we bought new tires we found one of the wheels is bent and can not be straightened so we are looking to go with some black narrow spoke wheels. Since we have new tires we want to stick with the 16/17's for now.

It appears the back wheels are about 10 inches wide. What size and offsets should we be looking for as a replacement?

Rear - 275/40/17 Front - 205/45/16

Factory 16/17 sizes are as follows:

Front: 16 x 7 (215/45R16)
Rear: 17 x 8.5 (245/40R17)

Wheel offfsets are:

Front: 55mm
Rear: 60mm

so for you to keep the 275 rear tire look to a width of 9.5 inch

That's a proper old school look!

Which wheel is bent?

Do you happen to know the weights on those wheels?

I think it is the right front, not sure on the weight.

Based on tire sizing alone, you'll want 16x7 front and 17x9 or 9.5 rear. Offset for the front can range from +30 to +42. Rear offset +22 to +35. Just depends how you prefer your configuration. I do have a set of 16/17 Te37 for sale but the fronts are 16x8 so unless you dont mind some tire stretch, may need to go 215/45/16 tire.

Im looking at some enkei rpf1’s in 16/17 as a spare or track set. I have seen mexiricers car with 17/18 rpf1 and it looks sweet. Wondering if 16/17 would look good in these wheels.
These are the sizes, what would be recommended? (i have ST bbk, and would like them to sit flush so I dont mind aggresive offsets if they fit.
fronts:
16x8 +38 or +30
16x7 +30

rear
17x9.5 +18 or +38

would the lowest offsets work?
tia!

with a bbk you will have problems with 16 inch wheel unless you had what I have which is the short lived custom comptech brembo system with brackets and hub that just cleared the oem 16 inch wheels...you can go 17/17 or 17/18
