And the 22b runs on 245 tires... Which is why I dont think the 32 offset is reasonable for the JUN car you mention when there are options that dont have that kind of risk availible.

its +38mm not +32mm.

17x8.5 +38mm is a lot wider than 17x8 +38mm..and definitely wider than 17x7 +48mm

1cm = 10mm

1in = 2.54cm

.5in = appro. 17mm

you do the math.

I have some winter tires mounted on 16" steel rims that I think are OEM Jetta/Bug with stock tire size, they stick out about 1/4" more then the stock wheels. Now I'm wondering if this is safe? fry my wheel bearings?:O Handling at times seems squirrelly, but this could be due to the softer winter tire.

Should I be worried??
