Hi tsikoters,
I need your opinion, I'm planing to change my stock mags 15 inch (185/60/R15) to 17 inch.
What is the best mags offset combination?
Where do I buy? I'm from sto Tomas batangas.
Thanks and by the way I'm planning to buy black mags as my car is black as well.

From there, compensate if you are getting a wider wheel than stock (unless you are going for the look where the wheels extend beyond the fender). Please note that too extreme an offset/wheel width can lead to clearance issues or putting excessive strain on wheel bearings. Many shops sell wheels but please make sure you get a quality wheel and decent tires. Which set to go for becomes a function of budget so just do some research on that.

Check online for a tire size calculator to check wheel height and rpm differences. Your choice of new rims & tires should be less than 5% of your stock specifications. Going +2" will be fine on your stock suspension unless you drive a like a maniac of bumpy roads, humps, or potholes.
With your wheel size, the options you have would be 205/40/17 or 205/45/17. The 205/40/17 will have a similar profile as your stock rims&tires but the amount of sidewall may not be that friendly to bumps. 205/45/17 will be a bit bigger but it offers more rubber, not to mention it is a more common tire size. 215/40/17 is an alternative but the 30mm difference in tire width may cause some rubbing in the tire well.
