offset is +32 with a 5mm spacer in picture making it +27. i dont know about the spacers yet, hard to determine where the tire will sit.

i know only gaining a half inch is barely enough to raise an eyebrow. im looking more to changing the style, and the offset is a lot better.

what price are we talkin with tires, if you like them buy them, they are ok, your current wheels are on the same level imo, i say save up the extra and get some killer wheels, and some people think they look VIP but they look like sportmax VIP which is gayness. you can tell by looking at them they are half ***.

You'll have to paint them black to pull them off imo

esp. since you blacked out your tails and such..

But i'd say they'll look puurdy after you paint 'em
