My lugs are 48mm (almost 2 inches) and you seemed to think they looked about what you wanted when we measured it off of your hub. I have open ended lugs though...for closed they might look weirder if they're that long.

Quick question to all you guys that know about wheel offset and widths...

I have been browsing some aftermarket wheels and am wondering what sizes would get me to sit fairly flush.

The sport 18"s have a 235/45/18 with a 7.5 wheel width and +45 offset.

What would happen if I ran a 19" wheel with a 9" width all around? same offset. According to the calculator thing that would put the backspacing .8" closer to the fender. Then tire size is another thing. If i would have to stretch a little bit or not.

Any recommendations on size. I have read that a lot of people run a 8.5 up front and 9.5 out back. Offsets are contemplated. Just curious because if I find a decent deal on a set of wheels I might pick some up

I have been really diggin' this style of wheel with a little concave.




Or I do like 5 spoke wheels as well with either a little dish or maybe concave, or both
However, with that then my brakes would look miniature.


Any suggestions of wheel offsets, or even just wheels?
