Customized my rims.

i would guess it changes the offset. also if u read above i got +15mm spacers so it should fit jsut fine (hopefully)

Say you start with a 18x8.5 +33 wheel. That has ~6.05" of backspacing on it. A 18x10.5 wheel with a +33 offset would have ~7.05" of backspacing. Basically, as your wheel gets wider, if your offset doesn't change, the additional width is split evenly on both sides of the hub. By increasing backspacing on an 18x8.5 +33 wheels 2", you would have 8.05" of backspace. That converts to something like a 18x10.5 +58.
I think you're going to need at least a +25 spacer and new studs to clear your rear suspension. 25.4mm = 1".
looks great for some track wheels and saves you money. Looked awesome with the red lugs in there but loose the center caps.. they just throw the red/black theme off. BTW... you said you sitched the turbo set-up, well whats your new set-up going to be ???

lol, actually my friend saw this post and called me an idiot because i didn't think of it. I'm sorry, i don't know what was going through my mind.

people weld their wheels... and powder coat forged rims. It seems doing these things are within the margin of safety on the road.. theoretically, both of these would weaken (or make more brittle) a forged wheel. However, I think once you get on the track, when youre at 10/10ths.. You've clearly stepped into levels of stress where there more likelihood for a failure. Fat tires, FI and some wheel hop will break a subframe (so it seems), so spacers and widened wheels will require some regular attention. I dont have any experience with FI Z/G's. So, I'm really going on what I've read here. Your mileage may vary.
