MAYBE Friday, MAYBE next week.

These are for you rockstar, tires all shiny . Yes these center caps fail big time. I think I'll have to get some type-s ones.

I have no idea how low I am in the front. I basically adjust the height on one side and make the other the same. I can def go lower but I like the way it is. I can measure the distance from the ground to the fender and tell you.

Wow...your wheels look WET.
Love it, gorgeous pictures, man. And gorgeous set of wheels...
Maybe you can customize the centercaps to make them flow.

TL Dude damn that looks nice. I like the concavity of those wheels so much. Makes me wanna get them. I don't know if I can pull that shit off being only 1.5" lowered. I'd hate to change my setup and be disappointed by the outcome of the new one.

^ thats my dilemma... I'm lowered 2' in the front and 1.5 in the rear with springs. I really like the looks of the +20et's but IDK, might have to rock the +25 or 30's...

Thanks man. There seems to be more options in terms of offsets and widths for these wheels so maybe a +25 will look nice and not poke out since you aren't that low.

+20 should work well since you are 2" in the front. The rears shouldnt be an issue. I'll be more than happy to help you choose a setup that will work for you

I have 8.5 wide wheels now with 30offset up front and 25 offset rear. If my fenders were rolled my rear could come out another 10mm I think for complete flushness/borderline poke (on my car). And I didn't know you can get +25 offset for 8.75x18 wheels? Maybe I would go with +25 front offset and +20 rear. That would make these wheels 8mm more out on the front and back compared to my current wheels and that would be right where I would like them to be.

Hey, thanks man...didn't think I'd hit a point where I'd be a veteran, but I guess I have been on here for a while now and my post count kinda makes me think I spend too much time on AZ. If there is such a thing.

One side of the rear was in spec but that side rubs. I think I'll run -2.5 in the rear and whatever possible in the front.

^The good thing about these wheels is that they have a sort of double lip. The one behind got scratched so u cant see the rash at certain angles. I am gonna get some sand paper and get to work on it soon tho
