Corey's running 18x10's et40 (I believe) with a 20MM offset. It's something like that. I know his final offset is like 20MM or 25MM. If it's 25MM I can't remember what size the offsets are on the wheels or spacer.

Yeah I'll go ahead and add that Corey's offsets with the spacers are VERY aggresive.

I am running a 18x10 et+40 with a 25mm spacer. Final offset for me would be 15mm.

A few pics (Thanks Joe <3)

How do you want it to fit? How low do you want the car? And 18x9.5 is basically a no-go in the front. I have 18x8 in the front of mine and need to space them out slightly, but we're talking maybe 10mm (less than ½").

basically im just looking for a clean fitment with a decent dish in the rear and a slight lip on the front for my girlfriends gti

she wanted my work emotions, but i saw ken had a set forsale.

not sure which lug pattern would fit.

i've been trying to get her to want the ssr sp1's

but now she wants them to be red. so i may have to run the rota so i wont feel bad painting them

and are not 5x100 I'm sure. If they were 5x100 you could get away with it (but not in the front).

17x7 with a 225 tire in the front and a 17x8 245 in the rear but i cracked one.

she wants em bad, so i guess i can get away with those on the car but there not as streched as the one's ken is selling

and i think mine are 5x100 i took them off my s2000
