i was looking at the rota real lite rim, and its a 17x7.5 with a 45mm or 48 mm offset. and my car is slammed if that helps. but is it going to work, and if so what offset should i get? thanks

With a 7.5" wide rim you will need an offset in the range of a +35mm-40mm depending on the tire you mount on it. Tire are not all the same width even though they are listed as being the same size. There is one Asia brand that there 215 is almost as wide as most name brand 235/245's
