Dude those wheels aren't bad at all. I've seen a few Z guys with those before. As for the offsets, just buy some spacers to get them sitting where they look good for now. Then just always upgrade wheels later.
Anyone plan on going to the Wrong Fitment Crew meet in March in North Carolina?

Hey thanks! i guess they aren't too bad of a buy...hmm
Ok lets see about spacers... i'm very bad at math so let's try to figure this out..
the stock offset and size of my rims now are the following:
Front
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Rear
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
The offset on the new rims are 35+
So if i added a half an inch to the front rim... thats like adding 8mm...since 8mm is half an inch...if its 19x8.5 front.. at 35+.. it should be equivelant to 19x8.0 at 27+?.... so in order to make it look more flush with the fender, i would need a 10mm spacer up front or maybe 15? if i wanna put 19X8.5's....
the rear is 19x9.5 which is a full inch and a half bigger than the stock rear so that's like adding 24mm.....so technically its like my 19x9.5 at 35+ is really the 18x8 at 11+ So i should be able to get away with 10mm in the rear too then..
The 20mm spacers up front and 25 for the rear on stock wheels makes the wheels almost flush to the fender.
My logic is probably off in left field somewhere and i'm inside playing pool...
Does it seem with 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with a full 35+ offset, 10mm and 15mm spacers would be about right to make it close to flush to the fenders?
I wanna get it close enough to where i can lower the car 1 inch and not have to roll the fenders... lol
EDIT... ok.. so the tires matters too obviously..
245/35/19 and 275/45/19..

i would be doing this for a 19x8.5 and 19x9.5
so in essence...if i'm 30mm all the way around...and stock 18x8's look flush with 20mm front and 25mm rear...then i really can't see how the 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 rims wouldn't stick past the fenders with 25mm...
but i could be wrong in my calculation.

I couldnt see the pics.. but i can't imagine it to be
I've never even used a spring compressor.. i just get it loose enough to the point where the top nut is gonna pop... lay it on the ground.. the rear faces an empty space and the top faces an empty space.. i stand on top of the spring and just POP DA NUT hahahahaha... ahh ****
Anyways..... Wifey bought me a dewalt 345lb electric impact wrench so hopefully i can get to a lot of the stuff easily with it.. LOVE TOOLS!!!
