I am running a 18x10.5 +15 offset...if you want the wheel offset to look like that on your car you will have to get +7mm less than stock...for example...if your stock is +52 you will have to get a +45...by the way Helix666 +1 on the RE30 volks in bronze...the gold is sick but is different from the stock gold...but still sick

Im saying my stock offset is +52mm. My widebody kit is 30mm wider than the stock fenders. so to keep the wheels looking the same as how they look stock (sticking a bit inside the fenders) then i should have got a +22 offset (+52mm - 30mm = +22), BUT i wanted them to stick out more and 22 - 7 = 15...thats wat im saying...does this make sense or should i send you instructions with pictures?

The dealership is cool with spending that much on me... BUT they said they cant find those rims (volk RE30) in 17" said they only come in 18". that bull**** or what? I need 17's... whats the equivalent to those? thanks

Just FYI, I did a little looking around (only from vendors' current posts, and IM'd one of them)... There's a 60-90 day waiting period for 17" 5x100 RE30's shipped from Japan because it's a special order... Most wheel vendors only have 5x114.3 RE30's in stock.

dude if there spending 3k on you, you might as well go buy some 18inch tires,its still a win win situation for you

Twsti07 · 04-25-2008, 09:19 PM
