hey steve,
there are a LOT of wheels available for our cars so it would be tough to get all the info you're looking for on here.

The Will It Fit thread is quite useful and then I would go through the different wheel threads. ie; Calling all Advan owners, all Volk owners, work, etc etc. Those typically have sizes, offsets, and pics.

yeah but a lot of those guys dont post specs, it would be nice if everyone just posted what they had actually on their cars showing fitted w/ specs

this thread can work, but people will get lost in the information. that is when they will go to the will it fit thread.

fitting wheels requires: wheel specs, tire specs, lowering specs, fender modifications, alignment specs.

I think this would work best if it was limited to stock. I'm guessing a lot of questions could be answered if people could just see what size rims paired with what offset will work. Maybe something in the format of:

18x8
flush: <offset>
aggressive: <offset range>
Fender Roll required: <offset range>

Not necessarily the exact same, but just a good outline. Could also have pictures referring to certain set ups so people can guess what it might look like on their car.

I just got in some rims and got offsets I didnt intend on getting. Was a miscommunication but it works and I'll probably keep it. I gotta hold off on tires a little bit and wont know what it looks like till then. Read many pages and never found anyone with a similar fit and honestly have no clue where to look aside from some of the massive wheel threads.
