pictures of 17x8 +48?

looking at a set of wheels (enkei nt03+m) and in 5x100 they only have 17x8 +48...i wanted an agressive look and that offset doesnt seem to be that much...anyone with that size and offset of any wheel??

and how big a tire can i run on 8"...i was looking for 245s...

you get coilovers yet? run some spacers and small tire stretch would look clean!

17x8 is a nice choice especially the NT03 but if you want a aggresive look, you could go 17x9 +42 or 18x9.5 and you wont rub on stock suspension but with coilovers, thats a different story. Hit up Dan @subydude as they got the 17x9 concaveness dpts. I believe 245 is the widest you can go on a 8'' width. I myslef am running 240 on mines.

17 x 8 +48 is not an aggressive wheel.
