I want to find a nice looking wheel thats 17" and can run 275 all the way around possible 18s but no bigger? Anyone have or no the exact wheel combo that will allow this to work ? I had a set of konig villians 17x9 30 offset that did this perfect but they are now discontinued so I need ideas help.

I think these look good, at least for the low price.
Sportmax 962 17x9, +35 offest.
Just one idea. You can prolly fit any wheel you want(for those 275's), provided it has the right offset
MkIV TT wheels sit too deep into the chassis on the front, the 17x9.5 +50 rim will likely rub on the lower control arm. I have a wear spot on such control arm from it doing exactly that. You'll likely rub some tire on something with a 275 rubber set on the rim. I would think +40 or +35 offset would be more ideal if you didn't want to chop stuff up in the wheel well.
I'm not saying you can't run them, they're just not an ideal solution, especially since people seem to think $800 is a fair price for a full set... meaning you'll spend a buttload to get old cast rims. You could spend the same and get better fitment in a custom rim. The backspacing on the 9.5" rim is perfect for the inside rear, but horrible for the outside rear, the rim is quite sunken into the wheel well. I would get a 17x10 or 17x10.5 with the same backspacing and pull the fenders.

Thats what im trying to figure out the correct rim size and offset to fit 275 all around. I know my konig villians with 30offset and 17x9 fit perfect with the 275 all around but cant get them anymore. So im looking for another rim that will fit perfect like them and look nice.
