2012 Elantra wheel offset Options

[OEM_Elantra]

Looking to pick up a set of wheels for the summer.

Since this is my first new car, I wanna make sure I get the proper offset.

I'm a big fan of poke and stretch so I want to run an offset and width that would allow me to poke slightly with a bit of stretch. I'm looking at 17x8 with a 205/40 but have no idea what offset to get.

Even if I just find out the oem offset, I'll just run spacers...

These are the rims I'm looking at..

The offset for the 2012 Elantra is 53mm.

I believe - not sure, but you may be able to veer off from that size a tiny bit - others may be able to chime in.

Also - here are your specs...

[Vinnie - I'm sorry to respond to a 3-year-old post, but forum courtesy may be better served by starting with an old thread than starting a new one.]

I have been looking for a good source of OEM data, particularly with respect to wheels. May I ask where you found that table? Is the offset you quoted the same for all wheel sizes and constructions? Does your source give other data, like tire load specs and min/max offsets (or alternatively, wheel well and strut clearances)? I'd appreciate any pointers to OEM data.
