Hey.

First post here, I'm been looking for some new wheels on my car and search through the forum but not sure which is the right offset for the car.

The ones i'm sure of getting are the work cr kai 18x8.5 but not sure which is the best offset for the car +38 or +32 or +25.... and i most likely will drop the car too...

any input would be great...

best.

The you can go up to 20x8.5 and drop it with Eibachs and you will be fine. I have some sterns but honestly i would have loved to get the 19x8.5 Nismo rims. Very light and very strong.

+38 or +32 should both be fine. I think +25 might be a little bit too far out.

+25 works if you fender roll. I have 19x9 +29 and I rubbed. I had to roll my front and rear fenders to clear.

FYI, the matte bronze CR-Kai is not similar in color to the gold Advans. You can get the replicas of the CR-Kai that do come in gold although I think the largest size they have is 18". If you are interested, some of the replicas are Konig Kaiten (up to 16x7) or Rota Torque (up to 18x9.5).

ok so im pretty much about ready to order these wheels but had some final quick questions just to be sure... i'm ordering the 18x8.5 +38 offset and i'm not sure if i will need hubcentric rings to go with it, been reading the wheel thread but was confused about that...

also any recommendation of wheel locks, have to protect the investmentbtw what size lug nuts do i need?

thanks
