I believe our offset is +35. Are you trying to find a rim with enough offset to take out the wheel spacers?

I could be completely wrong, it happens all the time, but I'm pretty certain a fullsized spare would have the same offset as stock.

I agree that the full size steel spare has the same specs as the 17x7 Aluminum wheels. Which have a 50mm offset.

I'm just looking at different wheels and struggling to find anything decent for not a lot of money it kind of looks like the offset is a little less the alumi's but no websites will tell me what the offset is I'm keeping my spacers as well...

If your looking for new rims, I used customwheeloffsets.com. They have atleast three or four wheels with our bolt pattern. One would be custom drilled, and I believe the other three have dual patterns. Also, when searching it helps to put 6x127, rather than 6x5.

But if you want to keep the spacers I wouldn't go lower than +25 offset. Would be easier to buy the adapters to have the 6x5.5 bolt pattern, since its a common bolt pattern

+1 on the going with 6x5.5 Adapters! Also, +1 on the 25mm offset with spacers. Check out my build thread for some before and after pics of stock tires and stock 17's compared to 1.5" adapters and 17" aftermarket's with 25mm offset. I found it very difficult to find anything that appealed to me in the 6x5 bolt pattern.

That's not likely to get any better as time goes on either. I also agree with adapters instead of spacer's. There's nothing to fear as far as durability goes from either.
