if you include all the information regarding the rim (width, ET, PCD, holes, etc) it would significantly increase the probability you get the right answer

+1^^ I have motegi 17x7's but I also have an 03 es, I think my offset is too far out though cause over some bumps I can hear the tires hit the inside fenderwells

Well they only come in the Zero offset so its going to take some work to get them to go on there. We are talking some negative camber and some major rolled fenders. You would also have to use a stretched tire. Like a 215/45-16.

If your looking 4 16"'s w/ different offset on XXR wheels (Primax) try the 501's or the New 522's that was released already. I have 2 complete sets on 501's (Black W/ polished Lip) & 522's (Gold) W/ and 0 off-set. All 16X8's But, u will need low PROFILE tires. Like 205/45/16 or 195/40/16 (RARE) Do NOT get 50 Series!!! They will rub every bump u hit.
Example:

W/ an "0" off-set rim will pop out a lot. Now if u add spacers will even pop out more.. But, i rather go w/ a (40) series since it will rub a little bit w/ a 45, but it depends if its lowered or not. I will make a design on Fender flares out of polyurethane so that way it will look flushed. Exp. http://www.modiride.com/images/conte...ide_flares.jpg (ill make them Small/Medium & Large sizes for Universal fiments. Hope people will buy.
