Default 17's on a classic

Good Morning

Been looking at various sets of wheels recently.

Would a 17inch, 7.5j wide, 45 offset wheel fit over the 4 pots on a MY99 classic??

Thanks in advance.

Cheers mate

Wheels have gone a lot higher on Ebay than I was planning on paying.

Guess the search continues!

ET48-53 are the given size you want to be looking at (these will fit no problems), outside of that could be an issue but 45 shouldnt be.

I've got 17" WRX wheels on mine, 98 classic, they go over rear Brembos and front Godspeed Brembos.

They go for around £150-£200 on e-bay a set.
