I think what everybody is going to say is: Those offsets suck :rant:

Let me be the first person to say the rims are kinda hot. Again, what brand? New, Used?

Volk GT-U. My buddy had them for like 5k miles and converted his car to the hotness, with 18x10 +9 volk sf-challenge, and a 25mm fender pull.

that offset blows, once you lower the car... wont they suck in more from camber... 40 is stock and you went to the 30's... lol. high 30's at that.

nice wheels.

Ahh. I love bieng told I suck by a noob. Yes, the offset is only 2mm less than stock, but the rim width is 3.5" more, or 88.9mm wider. 1/2 of that per side, so my rim has 47mm more lip, and essentially 47mm less offset than stock rims. Can you not see in the pic they're flush? With a lip? And a 10" rim?

Once I lower the car?! Those rear shocks are blown, and that's as low as it will get.

I think he was talking about the front more so than the rear. But you got them used so it's not like you had much choice of offset....other than to not buy them and get something else.

would that make it +0? i donno inches<=>mm

i'm running 17x8 +39 (used from IS300) and i'm running a 30mm spacer...

It would make mine look like a 17x8 +9.6 offset (to be exact).

1 inch = 25.4mm

Yours would be 17x8 +9 so it looks the same if you have an S14.

I Agree. I just got back from NOPI Nationals and was amazed at how dirty some of the nice cars were. Clean 'em and re-post some pics.

Jeff! if you went down to the low 20's think of the lip. :p

Then again I KNOW that stretching tires and low offsets will not help you out at all in the flat lands, so i'm sure that offsets good for fitting big meats right?

I like those 18x10's.. o.O

More pics from Vapor.

Once again, I really like the rims I bought, or I wouldn't have bought them. Larger tires is what I was after, without the whole battleship look.
