17x8", 30mm offset on a 4kq or Coupe GT?

[Todd Phenneger]

I rolled the fenders on my 4ktq.  Of course I'm running 17"
wheels with 225/45-17  RE-730 Tires.  Wheels appear to be
roughly a 48mm offset.  No rubbing in back (I have rolled
fenders) but I do get a touch of rubbing up front while turning.
 This is from the huge Diameter of the tires though.  I believe
my Ideal would be 225/45-16 for this car.  But alas, I had the
17's off my 5ktq so I put them on.
