I finally decided to pull the trigger on a set of Volk CE28N Genesis wheels but I have no clue what offset to order.

I want a deep lip so that I can get the spokes concave like the pic below. They will be 18x9.5 on all 4 corners. I don't mind rolling my fenders but I do not want to pull them. I also plan to install Tein S-Tech's so it will have a 1" drop.

Well since that's a widebody S2k Id assume those wheels are 18x10.5 +22. The 10.5's have the most concave look out of all the ce's but the 9.5's also look pretty good. A +28 with the right tire and you wont need a pull.

yeah around +25 will give you a lip and some concave, without too much problem if you aren't super lowered

I am thinking 18's might look too small.

If I went with a 19x9.5, I have the choice to go +25 or +36.

You didn't seem to want something very aggressive before, so take the +36. +25 would limit your tire choices.

I am 99% sure I want the 19x9.5 +36 but I need to find a picture of them before I pull the trigger.

So I have been looking at another set of wheels to pick up cheap and quickly(1 of my rims was damaged in transport of my car), so I want to get a new set quick, and found out a buddy of mine back home has a set of newer Mustang Wheels cheap.

18x10, +22mm offset, no idea on centerbore w/ a 5x114.3 BP. Would these with either a 245/40 or 255/35 best be suited for a set of 2" drop springs. Also, which tire setup would require the least amount of fender work?

245/40 will be your best chance for fitment. You will need to roll fenders and flare a tad. Camber will need to be above -2.5 as well

Camber in the rear right now is around 3.25 and front is at 3.0

Gona need to head up to BHR and see if they know anyone with a roller.


Time to make a couple phone calls.

Guys i have a question that seems that only you all could answer. i've done a bit of research on the forums and off the forums and i've talked to a lot of people as well who track their 8s and im still lost as to what to put on my car. I found good reason to not stay with 18" size, but I do like the 18" look on my 8 but it is hard to stay light at the same time. I have ordered a set of stance coilovers that i have not yet recieved. I was looking to go a little wider, either 8.5 or 9, but i didnt want to go staggered or roll my fenders or pull them. So i was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction. Also i didnt know what size tires i should run.

My current thought was 17x9 enkei rpf1s with a 35 offset or 18x8.5 enkei rpf1s with a 40 offset.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

I want a inexpensive wheel with a super aggressive look that if I scuff them or crack them---then so what. I'll by a replacement. 19in wheels dont last long in the Bronx. So thats why I'm making the decision.

My old wheels i'm working on fixing them for some shows. and I want this new pair for other shows and as dailys.

So with that said again who wants to flame =] lol.
Lol, no one will ever make a Rota cool unless its on some super sports car, even then.. lol. Try axxis or TSW Motegi or even Konig. They are a lot higher on the knockoff scale, especially TSW followed by Axxis. I'll admit that I have eyeballed a few TSWs from time to time.

The main flaw I see is that if you are looking for "show" rims, you'll never get rep from rocking fakes. I'm sure you know that though. Whatever your choice is, I'm sure it'll look good.
