Default 8.5F/9.5R Low Offset Wheels?

I am looking to run 8.5F/9.5R wheels w/low offsets. 10-20mm offset front and rear. They have to clear the Brembo's. Anyone know of any wheels?

Respect

Ruff wheels pretty much any rim with a +20 offset should clear the stock brembos.

20+ offset on a 8.5/9.5 rim is too tucked in. I'm looking for an 11, 12, 13, 14 offset that will clear the Brembos.

i was just about to ask that! with an inch drop what's the best possible offset to go with? i would think +15 at the front should be good and a +20 at the back somewhat fine?!

badmonkey- could you post some shots of your car with the milanos? fender shots would be very helpful.

Too tucked in? If you get them further out they may be even with the top of the fender but the will look like a tractor unless your body kit brings the body straight down as the stock bumpers curve in and it leaves too much tire hanging out for my taste, also might cause an issue if you lower the car.

This is the only side shot that I have. I can get more, though.



This is the front showing how tight it is. It rubs if I have the wheel turned and hit a bump. I had to trim some high spots in the front wheel well. I also had to roll the rear fenders. I am running 255/35 in the front and 275/35 in the rear on 20's.

I got them locally from the manufacturer as the GM is a member of our club but you can get a dealer near you from him at scott@statuswheels.com and I have seen some on ebat as well search for ruff, but the wheels alone in my size probably sell around 700 or so, you cannot beat the price, you can be into wheels and tires for around 1500.

No they are the hyperblack, that is what is so cool about the hyperblack they look different depending on the light, here is a shot in the bright sun and another one in overcast conditions
