looks good - they aren't concave at all though! I want the p45r's all around. i know they're different, but i thought the f's were still somewhat concave...

this might be a dumb question, but why different offsets from front to rear?


atilla: a +35 offset would push them outward just a bit more, right? just want to make sure i'm understanding correctly for when i get wheels...sigh...whenever that will be...

the lower offsets push them outwards.

we have a +50 stock offset, which is why our wheels tuck like mad.

2tone, yeah man - kersh is right

Basically the lower offset will push it out towards the fender a little more.

I learned something new today

Btw, nice rims, it's pretty cool when you just get the red lining that nearly matches the car.

Got some good taste man!

cool, thanks for the explanation guys.

but why different front to back? is the mounting position slightly different or was this just the op's personal choice?

^he bought them from another forum member with those specs - the rear can handle a more aggressive offset if the front and rears are the same width

and the rears (p45r) ARE much more concave right?? i'm not imagining that, or looking at weird angled pictures, right?

me?? sweet, you're awesome.

yeah the p45r seems to bend in more. i knew the p45f wasn't as concave, i just thought it was more concave then what his pics show. nonetheless they look good!
