And what do you mean "cookie cutter" wheels? The offset just specifies how far the mounting point of the rim is off center. a 42mm offset means the "hub" is 42mm OUTSIDE of the centerline of the rim.

With a car lower than stock height, you have to run high offset.

The LOWER the offset the furter out the wheel sits.

Re: Meet up in Lynchburg
Chris, why do you wanna see pics of my car? Look in my into thread, there's a pic there. The edge of the tire is almost flush with the fender. No, my wheels don't stick past the fender like those ghetto mexican (not racist, merely stating something I've noticed) cars.
And lowered cars need offset so the tire will clear the control arm/fender.
