What's the offset and width of the new wheels? What size tires do you plan on wrapping the wheels with?

You should determine what the wheel's specs are...just because a wheel bolts onto a car doesn't mean it will fit without issues. You should definately determine what the offset and width are.

x2 on that, well, depending what set up you go with, they should look pretty good, have you made up ur mind about going with low pro's or stock tires?

The offset is usually stamped on the back of the wheel. You can calculate it by measuring the backspacing. Easy for you to do since there is no tire on the wheel.

Offset to High and you may have clearance issue on the inside of the wheel. Offset to low and the wheel might stick out past the fender. Dont forget to measure the wheel width.


I just learned it a couple weeks ago

Hello, I can't seem to understand how to measure it, here I took pictures of the back of the front and rear rims which the rear lip seems to by more inside or wider, no idea ...

The wheel's specs should be stamped/embossed on the inside of each wheel.

Looks like the specs are stamped in the back on the spokes. All I can read is 18x8
