17" Wheel Width?

Does anyone know the width of the 17" wheels? The USA web site indicates that the 16" wheels will be 6.5" wide but there is no mention of the 17". I am also curious about the offset, has anyone heard what it is?
Thanks,

Tom

Re: 17" Wheel Width?

Do a on "faq AND wheels" and you'll find a definite answer to one of your questions and a possible answer to the other.

Thanks MINIAC, I now know that the 17" wheels are 7" wide. I still need to know what the offset is. When running in SCCA SoloII Stock Class competition you can only use aftermarket wheels that are within 1/4" of the factory offset.

The FAQ on aftermarket wheels has information on the 17x7 BBS wheels that MiniMania is running on their racer.
