Bringin VIP to Dubai, need CL help!
Hie guys, so i fell in love with these wheels. The work Euroline Type N. However living in dubai where the custom market is not a big deal and VIP style is unknown, they are very hard to find. After searching for quite few months i came across a set of Euroline DH's instead (So close lol) and that too in superb condition
They have the following specs:
18x8.5 +27 front
18x9.5 +27 rear
Now the problem is, i want a setup like this
the specs of the wheels are 18x9.5 18x10.5 +20.
il be running bags soon after getting the wheels. what should i do? spacers? i need something similar in the pic. i did a research everywhere but coudnt find similar wheels anywhere with +27 offset. will +27 be similar to the pics?
Thanks guys input will be appreciated, as well as the makeover pics will be up soon!
And sorry if the title was over-rated lol, i know you need much more aggressive setups to be VIP but....trust me guys the persons at the rim shops here do not even know what offset is

For what I always see on television, its all fame, glitz, glamour, money, etc. is there really a lower class society there other then the rich? I want to visit Dubai so bad my friend. But hey! Good luck with your wheels and all of your plans! Post pics up when you finish please!

Yea check to see if the euroline dh is a 3 piece wheel. If it is you can get them rebarreled at about 200 a piece. You can also go the cheaper route and get 20mm spacers all around. I did the math it should put you pretty much at the specs you want +/- 1mm.

if the person doesn't know what offset is , i wouldn't be trusting him to work on some work eurolines
Well welcome to dubai then. There are some sweet GS's around here but 9 outta 10 will be running on 3GS stockies. It looks good yeah, but its literally EVERYWHERE
people here in the states generally get them rebaralled, relipped, or flip em inside out. do some searches and you'll know what i mean!

@Redline26, thanks for your time with the calculations. If i dont like the setup and get 20mm spacers, and they look bad...well all the comments will be directed to you then when i post a pic of my gs on CL
@YxUxMADDDD - what do you mean when you say the specs are WEAK? Please explain thanks !

Hahaha lifes good here bro. Unlike any other country it has its good and bads. And afcourse there are all kinds of people here...rich, middle, poor.
All i can say is. Petrol prices are amazing here. almost same as bottled water prices. 1 litre of water (yes we follow litres here, 1gallon is arnd 4 litres) is for AED 1.50 and petrol is 1 litre for AED1.7

Theres no conflict here bro. I gave u 2 alternatives either rebarrel them or get spacers depending on ur budget. But as stated, theyre 1 piece wheels so rebarreling is no longer an option. Its not my car its urs, just giving u options.

^^+1.. There's is no conflicts just options. If money isn't the issue, then I'd say rebarel or buy rims to your fit. Eurolines DH's are 2 piece welded so you can rebarel them. The offsets you're looking at to purchase is weak meaning you barely have any lips to show. You'll see what I'm talking about on the pictures I referenced below. It all depends whether you want crazy offsets or just the normal staggered look. But you're looking for 10.5 +20 so apparently you want some lips. You can actually go 18x11 with single digit offsets as well. And yes, fender mods are are must but that's just me. Again, up to you. You just have to search the forums and check around. There's a wheel/offset thread you can look into prior to making the purchase. Don't buy the DH just because you can't find what you want. You originally wanted the Type N so here's the link to the Type N that's for sale below. Take your time my dude. If you wanna bring "VIP" to Dubai, do it right and search. It takes time and money for the members to get where they're currently at. Don't make a bad impression the first time around. And when you win a contest, I'd like a first class roundtrip flight to Dubai and stay in the penthouse at the golden palace with room service and female escorts lol. I know you ballin'!

Guys, i would love to take all your advice but as i mentioned before i found these DH's after 2 months of searching. I wish i found out the shop before as he told me he sold type N's 18x11 F and 18x12 to a supra guy a week earlier
But i guess il look for type N's abit more to find single digit offsets. Yes i do want lips. Whats vip without fat *** lips? Yumadd bro il try posting pics of the DH's tomorrow. It does have a lip but yes nt so big. So lets see
And contrary to the popular belief, just because i live in dubai does not mean im ballin'
Im just 20 still in university, so probably you gotta wait few more years before i can get u in a roundtrip to dubai hahaha
Thanks guyssss! Really appreciate all your help
