The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset can be one of three types (measured in millimeters).*
Zero Offset
The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.
Positive
The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.
Negative
The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset.
If the offset of the wheel is not correct for the car, the handling can be adversely affected. When the width of the wheel changes, the offset also changes numerically. If the offset were to stay the same while you added width, the additional width would be split evenly between the inside and outside. For most cars, this won't work correctly. We have test fitted thousands of different vehicles for proper fitment. Our extensive database allows our sales staff to offer you the perfect fit for your vehicle.
*Backspacing, similar to offset, is the distance from the hub mounting surface to the inside lip of the wheel (measured in inches).

We have a bolt pattern of 5x110, so those won't even fit. The offset is a measurement of how far the bolt face of the wheel is from the centerline.
The higher the number, the more sung in it's going to be. The lower the number, the more "aggressive" it will be.

kmc rims are alright... what finish are they? black,chrome? ask ur buddy how he likes the peddlers.or even ask to drive his car and see how it handles or even how much of a bounce hes got... plus u gotta remember,the lower u go the more of a bounce ur gonna get when u hit a bump...u cant really ask people who have a product or how they are if noone experienced another brand except the brand they have bought
