wassup,i have a 2001 hyundai accent 1.5L hatchback.i just got these 17"wheels that are 4x100and i was wondering if they would fit on my car,i dont mean the 4x100 i know that will fit im talking about the 17"rim and tire..i had a pair of 16: rims on it and it rubbed the plastic wheel well but then it was allright.with the 16" it was a tight fit but these are only an inch bigger.i think i wont have a problem with the rears only the fronts might be a little difficult.if they wont just bolt right up is there something i could get to make them fit.cause these rims would look real hott on my car.if that doesnt work can i put 17"rims on the back and 16"on the front will that harm anything. thank for the help

Depends on the width and the offset of the wheels. I had rear rubbing issues with 17x7 +40. They rubbed on the lip where the rear fender and bumper joined together. It didn't cut into the tire or anything though.

im not understanding the offset thing.how do i find out the offset.what is the offset mean.is that the round part in the middle of the rim that slides over the hub?

^^ the width and placement of the rim

is your car lowered?.....if it is it will rub in the back, but you can trim the plastic piece so it doesnt.
