Rears probably won't fit without a big fender roll...like 3/4 inch Might want to order more around a 45 offset..that would fit better

+22 is too low. Sounds like wheels for 350Z's. From my experience, you need to be between 35-45 offset. Stock is 50.

What wheels you looking at?

so i'm guessing the huge stagger size is more for looks than performance right?
19x10 is really huge. unless u got like 400hp.

either way, have u tried SSR's? they got some nice meshes up in there. forgot the name...ms????1?? i may not even be close. i like the enkei's due to price and weight.

and if u like other 2pc. wheels, check out rpf1 racing series.

good sizes either way. and not over the board wide where performance is compromised. let me know what u think.

The Luff wheels are the only ones I know of that are BBS copies. There was a yellow 8 that had them and it looked pretty good.

You can't find them in the right offsets?

I have +28 on the rears - that is completely flush with the fender - +22 would be really wierd I think.

See link on sig for pics.
