Help Understanding "Offset"
If they have been discontinued, they could still be a nice wheel but........ If something happens you out a set of wheels. IMO , just wait a little more, possibly save a few more $$ and get something different.

Can I get wheels with this big of an offset to work with spacer?
Size: 2 PCS 18X8, 2 PCS 18X9
Bolt pattern: 5x114.3
Offset:48 & 50
Hub bore:73
This is my favorite wheel of all time, to bad its for a Porsche.. Any generics out there that will fit? If I could find something like this in an 18", my search would be over..

those offsets will require large spacers to be flush and some would argue that the suspension geometry might thrown off by this. You would be better off finding some wheels you like in much better offsets or only using small spacers (10-15mm or 20mm if needed). just my opinion though...

I currently have 25mm hubcentric wheel spacers on all 4 corners of my 2006 with stock wheels/tires (spacers are the ones with the built-in studs).. The fronts sit perfect but I feel the rears could actually use another 5-8mm to get them exactly where I want them to be..
With that being said, I ordered some new wheels/tires and they should be here Monday and are as follows.
Rear- 19x9.5 (25 offset) with 275/35-19
Fronts- 19x8.5 (20 offset) with 245/35-19
My calculations with the new set-up show the fronts being 9mm farther away from the fender (inboard) and the rears being 4mm farther away from the fender (inboard).. Keep in mind this calculation is based off where my stock wheels/tires are with the 25mm spacers.. .. So if I want the new set-up to be exactly where I wanted the originals (keep in mind I wanted an extra 5mm in the rear), that would basically require 10mm spacers on all 4 corners (please correct me if I'm wrong).. So my goal would be to install longer studs and then use Hubcentric 10mm spacers with the new set-up.. Since that will increase the turning radious of the front tires, will I have any rubbing issues? I know allot of people are running similar set-ups but I didn't know if anyone was running them with an added 10mm spacers and/or if they are having any issues that way?
Thanks for any help
