    Look at your current wheels. Can you cope with the being 5mm further out? I'd imagine you won't be able to see or feel the difference. Not like you are going to 9" wide wheels or something
    Got it mate. Thanks heaps!

My question is I'll like to know the few downsides/tradeoffs on suspension/handling for pushing the wheels out by 5mm? Thanks.
    Zero issues. A lot of the OEM 17x7.5 are ET45. It's when you get closer to ET35 the steering might feel a bit different but a proper wheel alignment fixes that anyway.
