Weld racing wheels on 235?

Has anyone done it?
Looking at the s71's 17x9 or 9.5

Curious on backspacing and everything if anyone has any experience.

Haven't done it, but looking at the offsets on their website, the 17x9.5et37 (71HP7095N67A) won't work in the back. You could probably do the 17x8et46 (71MB7080N63A) with a ~5mm spacer in front and a 17x9et46 (71MP7090N68A) in the rear if you're not real low. You'll also need hubcentric rings to reduce the bore from 80.77mm to 72.56mm unless they can do that custom as well. Might be able to do a 17x9et46 square setup with camber plates, a ~8-10mm spacer, and an inner-fender lip roll in the front.

Just want to do the back, currently running a 19.9.5 et45 in back so I think I can make those fit. Just really need to know what the backspacing measurements mean

Old thread so it might be a shot in the dark but what offset were these. I see they have a pair of these in a 17x9 et45 but it is 5x120.65 bolt pattern. Is that the spec pictured above?

There's two options for 17x9. Did you go with the 30 offset (high) or the 46 offset (medium) ???? Really looking forward into this. Hope you see this since it's an old thread

The invoice doesn't say and I don't remember but it had 6.8" backspacing if that helps
