hey guys, was there an older generation of the volk sf challenges that had no lip? where the spokes connect directly to the edge of the rim?

rear: 18x10 +48

as long as you do 25mm spacers, they might look decent.

Add another 5mm to that

do those rims look that bad??

gsazabi

iTrader: (51)

No they don't look bad..it's just that offsets are too high. but I can see the reason why..offsets on wheels that are sold in Japan are generally very conservative.

conservative? offsets of +45 and +48 will make the rim stick out of the wheel well no? what are the spacers for then?

gsazabi

iTrader: (51)

No with that offset the wheels will be tucked in. Remember, lower the offset number, the further the wheel sticks out. You need spacers to drop the offset to +25 or below to make it look good. Adding 25mm spacer to let's say +45 will make the offset to +20. It's actually subtraction.

crap...and all this time i thought the higher the offset the more it sticks out...damn..so these no good without spacers then. what a drag. what size width tires should i put on these?
