You should be thankful, jfolsom28. These guys helping you, like Atilla, dozer and Ren have excellent taste is wheels. *cough* don't listen to Zumn *cough* LOL

Paint job will look good with the RIGHT wheels. Go with the wrong wheels, and, wow. It could get really messy around here.

It's definitely different, but looks good. Pick some good rims and you're set.

OFFSET = LIFE

YES - it's that important.

Lucky i'm in a good mood today

Offset The offset of a wheel is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true centerline of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle.

19x8 is too conservative in my opinion - i say shoot for 19x9.5 +42 w/a fender roll and some camber work.

you will NEED 19x9.5 or higher and offset determines how far your wheels stick out. Stock wheels are +50 and are sunken. +35 is usually about flush; and +20 is sexy as f*ck.
