sounds too high!

What's the brand & model of the wheel?
Also the diameter & width?

Depending on the width of your rim which is most likely somewhere between 7-7.5" a +40 to +45 offset would be ideal. If it's 6.5" a +38 would work the best. However Boilermaker1 has a +37 offset on his Supperleggras (7.5"?) and the face of the wheel sits perfectly level with the outside of the fender. It all depends on how low you drop is or will be and how big you rims/tires are.

They're 17x7 actually... and fit in the the fenders very nicely. But it kinda eliminates the ability to drop real low (which I have no plans to do, so it didn't matter to me)... I like suspension travel

No dude... a 63 is not going to fit... theres no friggin way. You'll be slamming the calipers on the spokes and rubbing the fender liners.
What the hell car comes with offset that high? Highest I know of is the S2000, and thats only 50. Besides... any wheel that is only $210 for a set has gotta be a piece of **** anyways.
