Ok so after having that shitty 225 setup for weeks I got these wheels. They drive so much better, completely a different car not only in looks. The guy had advertised that they were all 245's.. But when I got to his house, the rear ones were 275's. Just made the deal even sweeter.

Front
245/40/18
18"x 9"

Rear
275/40/18
18"x 10"

Offset: 30mm.. Yes I know that most of you prefer a lower offset, but I think they look good.

So, what did you do right? I don't think its the offset.

brink2012

I personally like the wheels to be tucked just a bit. The offset is the same as stock.

imo i dont think the offset is good too.. but then again, its your car

Offset = WRONG
Wheels = C

Overall grade = C

brink2012

Technically the offset is right.

I don't know if will help me sleep at night. However I do know that the stock wheels have a 30mm offset.

The stock wheels have a positive offset, hence they're flush. For a wheel with a nice lip, the offset should be 'less' than stock.

I have 18x9 and 18x10 wheels with the offsets around +24 or +23.

It's your car and your wheels. I don't think +30 is going to kill the car or anything. It's a matter of looks and taste, and if you like it then that's all that matters.

20mm spacers and drop the car a bit will look really nice. You car looks clean just a little weak looking at the moment. To each his own though. Bet youre happy so thats all that matters

Changvi

Well, not really. You need at least a +22 with your setup, and a nice drop. Then you are all set....

brink2012

So that would mean a 8mm spacer? Or higher?

Changvi

iTrader: (66)

If front and rears are +30, then yes, 10mm spacers would do the trick.

brink2012

Is it really worth possibly damaging a stud for a silly 10mm spacer?

That's like this much

With a good 10mm spacer you will get new studs www.ichibausa.com . Your wheels actually have the proper offset, most people have no clue what their talking about, but most of us do go a bit more aggressive than +30 just for looks.

10mm or 15mm spacer will make them more look better to most of us.
