Default Wheel picture request

Hi All,

I was wondering, if a 20x9 +22 will give me a noticeable concave? I ran step lip wheels last year and now want to do a concave look. Only issue is; I ran 20x10 +25 step lip last year but i was running into rubbing issues on turns. The wheels i want to run this summer are the Rohana RC7's which gives me an option of 20x9 +22 or i can do a 20x10 +25 (but assume i will have to roll fenders or do something with the wheel guard.)

If anyone has photos please post or chime in, Thanks!

concave, step lip, or however the rim is designed would not play in the factor of rubbing. its the size/offset

from 20x10 +25 to 20x9 +22 it would only be poking less about 10mm. what are you rubbing on?

those wheels will be "deep concave" because thats how they sell the wheel. im pretty sure they run strict sizing so custom offsets may not be a possibility. you would have to contact them

i was rubbing on the inner wheel guard and it was embarrassing when i took turns cause they would rub pretty loud.

Im just wondering if a 20x9 +22 rim will give me a nice concave look due to the offset?

sorry i updated my post since i saw you updated yours.

they will definitely give you a concave look since its advertised as a 32mm offset "deep concave" but the wider the wheel the more concave you'll get.... that is if they dont just extend the hub surface.

and if they allow you to get a 22 offset then yes. on a 20x9 it will look concave.

Where did you see this advertisement of 32mm offset "deep concave"? what do you mean by extending the hub surface, using spacers?

everywhere im looking its showing 32mm or 36mm offsets. im just randomly searching ebay, amazon, google, etc.

you can say that when i mean extending the hub surface on the wheel. like they are making the wheel with more metal on the surface. its the same concept as adding a spacer except the wheel is made that way.

for instance some companies will have a more concave wheel the lower the offset and some will just extend the hub surface and drill the bolt holes deeper. make any sense?

Yes it does make sense, thanks for all your input! I found these wheels at wheelplususa offering them in a +22. But i will contact a vendor i go thru and see if they can get me a better price and see if they can send me an actual picture or something if they got them in stock.
