so i searched and people said you have to get it rolled.
but no one really came back with any feedback after it was done, presuming it got done.

would u need to roll the guards to an extreme?
i want these lenso's like mine now, but better. 18x8
i just dont want to have to get flared guards.

basically,
18x8 with guards rolled and kind spring lows.
would i need to get flared?
i dont mind a little rubbing at full lock btw.

cheers.

depends what offset is the first question, secondly I can fit no worries, dont need to have extremely flared guards, a rolled lip could do just fine if you ask me, but then again depends on how low you want to go

yeah the information they show, only the rim size ##x#.# and the stud pattern.
i shot an email out for the offset.
but what should i be looking for within what offset?

it is considered 'huge' to some but is very close to factory offset, keep in mind the rim is 8' wide, meaning it will come closer to the guard either way without you having to have such a low offset, width + offset combo gives perfect fitment

-45 to +38 ?


where did he mention -45?

an offset of -45 doesnt even exist

it would be +38 to +45

offset refers to where the face of the wheel lies with regards to the centre of the wheel

say you have an 8" wide wheel (or 20.32cm)

the centre of the wheel is at 4" (or 10.16cm) in from either side

so there is about 4" of lip on the inside and outside

a - number means it moves towards the inside of the wheel a + means it moves outwards

so an offset of +45 means it moves 4.5cm towards to outer edge of the wheel which means you have 5.66cm off lip on the outside and 14.66cm on the insdie
