Agreed, but whatever. I'm just saying that if you're going to have a thread about aggressive wheel fitment you might as well dish out a little information... IMO, no one's really going to break down barriers with the fitment of their wheels anymore. There are people on here running a lot of poke, and there are also people on here that run some more conservative widths/offsets. I think people are going to begin differentiating their cars by moving away from the same wheels that everyone else runs (we all know what they are) and onto companies and designs that are different. But again, that's just my opinion and the route that I'm taking.

That said, I think I have finalized what my final offsets and tire choices will be.

R: 20x11 et 15 w/ 255/35/20 Nitto NT555
F: 20x9.5 et -5 w/ 225/30/20 Falken FK452 (Great tire for stretching).

Just got the car down on the BC coils, the rear will be coming down and the front will probably be raised about an inch and a half from where it is (I just said **** it and installed them all the way down just to see haha). Wheels are getting refinished with a matte grey center and all lips/barrels are getting rechromed.

Can't speak of dpe but I've had 5 sets of HRE's one set were shelf sitters meaning they were pre built. They never once kept any info from me so I think your wrong there

I think it's dumb why always hides stuff. Mainly I think it's because they went through a few different offsets and sizes to get the right one and they don't Wana give someone
Else the easy way out lol

As much as possible... It looks like my fronts are at about -4 right now, but that will obviously decrease once I raise the car. Rear will be at around -3.

But I can kind of understand why some don't like to reveal. I recently had someone ask me about my current specs and tire sizes, only to find out that person ordered the exact same wheels with the exam same specs and with the exact same kind of tires. Whole set up was copied, even down to my lug nuts.

Do I find it irritating? Yes. Will I be part of the secret offset society? No.

After seeing xlacks setup, that's the route I'm going. Raise Up a bit, still aggressive, with less camber. I'm at -4 on my rear right now and tires are getting costly

I know ^ I'm hoarding on other parts though! Lol
@cardoza, you sure -3 os enough for those specs? You're going really aggressive, remember our cars aren't meant for low offsets like the 35s. It'll look sick though! Lowest offset I've seen on 20s is +15 on a 10.5,

^ people have lower offsets than +15 on 10.5.. (or are you just talking about what youve seen in person?).... You can make it work by adjusting your coils up and adjustable camber kits.

Honestly, no I have no idea if it will work. From eyeballing and what I've seen on this thread that's what I'm going to try out first. Some adjusting will almost certainly be necessary.
