Hey,

Will a 17x7.5J rim fit? Or is a 7J the maximum? I want to put 17inch Borbet A under my 480 but the come only in 7.5J with a 35mm offset. Is that possible?

you'd need to space the fronts out at least 5 mm, and remove the lip on the rear arches. Its possible you'd foul the inside of the rear arch too.
