I think that's too much offset for the wheels you're getting. I see them looking good on a perfectly flush setup. Maybe 3-5mm of poke, nothing more. It's a sick wheel, but it's gotta be done right or they just won't flow well.

Edit: I should actually say too little offset. Something around +35 would be perfect for that wheel.

nope this is a new wheel to there cast line that isnt released yet, they were willing to have it drilled to 5x110 for only a bit more. they come, machined, piano black, gunmetal, and silver. custom finishes are extra


the reason for the +25 is that is what will clear the front suspension setup. +35 on a 9.5 will be way to close upfront

****, yeah I forgot about that. I think Dom had the same problem with the +30's and pushed them out to +25

nues are cast, just not concave.

That's impossible to answer without knowing what look you're trying to achieve.

Oh sorry, forgot to say. I want it to look flush without stretching tires, maybe just tuck a tiny bit. Kinda like how will's car looks.

+30 or +35 either will due for what you want.

+38 is too much IMO

Another wheel noob for you guys.

I want flush with maybe a little poke, would it be better to go like 18x8 with a lower offset or 18x9 with a little higher offset?

I've got 19x8.5 +35 and they sit flush. I added 4mm spacers in the rear and they poke just a little bit. My estimate would be 18x9 +35 would be nice or 18x8 +20ish. Correct me if I'm way off guys but I think I'm close. lol

Depends on the wheels. Wider wheels in some cases will give you more of a concave look or more lip. Wide wheels also run into the issue of inner wheels clearance. To run a 9.5" wheel you can't have any more than +25mm of offset.

So you think 18x9 +35? I'd like going with 9 wide rather than 8 wide.

That won't fit in the front. You'll hit the struts. You need to drop down the +30

I have to take some new pics first. Don't have any since I removed the rear lock rings.

Ok my bad on the 18x9 +35. Wasn't sure if that would clear or not in the front which is why I wanted someone to verify.
