Default will +20 9.5 wide rims fit?

will a +20 offset 18 x 9.5 inch fit in the front wheel well? or will it stick out?

a tad is okay, but I don't want to look like a ghetto cruiser

thanks.

You'll be just fine.

I'm running +19 on a 19x9.5, and I would actually like it to be like +15.

Response to your pm:

Well the fact of the matter is the width.

I'm running 255/35/19 on my 19x9.5" and it looks great, absolutely no stretch. I'd stay away from the 40 series but that is just me I don't like that much sidewall. I don't have any pics right now (at work) and my car is sooo dirty..

Your car will look sweet bro, good luck!!!

holla back,
ravi

thanks for the answers.

but I think I found out the offset rating is different for one peice cast wheels (work emotions) than your two peice Volks. so I don't know if it translated to be the same. hopefully.

It's the same measurement. Centerline to mounting surface, that doesn't change between 1 and 2 piece wheels.

You'll be fine with that wheel.

motormouth I would take Z1's word on those wheels. He actually has them and is not just guessing. My 2 cents. I would like to see the pictures if you get Work Emotions 9.5 +20 offset in the front.

well, I do beleive him, and he was real helpful by the way, but I need the concavity of the spokes for the 9.5's. the 8.5 look doesn't do it for me.

I might need to do a +30 offset and space it out 5mm to get it perfect, not sure. I willf ind out by next week.

if I can get a system to work, it'll be posted up as soon as they come in... in 6 weeks : )

straight from Work (I CALLED THEM DIRECTLY) the rims will fit, no problem. the only thing he said was "that is very agressive, but it'll work, no problem"

so I guess that is the most difinitive I can get, right?

yep put those bad boys on and make all of us with 8.5" +20 & 9.5" +20 Work Emotions jealous. I can't wait to see. You have to order them and do the 3 month wait thing? My Emotions will hopefully be on by the end of this month. What color is your car by the way and what color wheels are you getting?

Thanks

Jeremy
