There's a ****load of wheels the are 17x7 however the offsets are going to be a little lower. The closest you are going to get is a +50. After doing a quick search on 1010tires.com* I found 3 wheels that come in 17x7+50.

Enkei FD-05
Enkei SC05
Sport Edition D5

Curious, why would you want a new set of wheels that are the exact same dimensions?



*I feel like 1010tires has the best selection and the best search functions.

an 8" wide wheel with an offset in the 48 - 53 range will not cause any handling issues

Luke, because I'm curious, why can't Tire Rack wheel searches be filtered by width and offset? And why does it seem like the widest wheels that are offered are only 8" wide? (Two biggest reasons why I will probably never buy wheels from Tire Rack.)

too many people would be ordering wheels that wouldn't properly fit

there is much more to wheel fitment than width and offset
