Offsets


I finally decided to go and get measurements for some new wheels. It isn't 100% accurate, but it gives me an idea of what I'm looking for. I'm trying to see if I can fit an 18x9.5 +10 in front and an 18x10.5 +5 or an 18x11 +o in the rear. I'm also trying to figure out tire sizes as well, depending on the offset I get. I'm trying to keep the sizes modest, per say. I fit on some 19s a few months back and it looked sick. Unfortunately, I only had a camera phone at the time, so the pictures didn't come out so well. In the meantime, I'm deciding if I want to go 18s, 19s, an 18/19 stagger, or 17/18 stagger.












It looks like I may need to run coilovers to fit those aggressive offsets, but I really don't want to. I had JIC Magic coilovers on my previous ride and although it gripped like a maniac, it was too uncomfortable to daily drive. I do love coilovers though, the adjustability and stability is amazing, but I don't see myself using them to their full potential.
