No kidding, I just did the math for that. I came up with a 69mm offset, you'd need to run a 3/4" spacer to get back to stock or 1" spacer to get close to what most 9.5" wheels that fit our cars are.

Plus unless they do an absolutely perfect job its going to be a real bitch to balance the rim and tire.

Isn't the difference between awesome wheels and crap wheels the weight and the construction type? How do you account for that when you weld some **** in there :P
