If you like spinners then put it on ! . IMO though, spinners give off a aura of being a childish gimmick, but thats just me...

Twankys, you are having these offset problems simply because of the wheel company, not your car! Wheel companies like KMC only make 2offsets for their passenger car wheels, usually something like a 35-40 and something like a 20-25, they call these FWD or RWD simply because its a generic label for those that may not understand offset. To be honest, there is no ONE number that is a FWD or RWD offset it varies from car to car, drop, brake setup, etc.

As far as the spinners go, they are not my bag, but DUB makes a couple decent looking designs that are real spinners (not add on like spin tek), the DUB line is made by MHT, who bought Davin in to design and R&D the spinning mechanism!! ( i read that in a article about Davin somwhere)

I can promise you, if you get the add on kit, like spin tek or diablo you will only be spinnin for about 2months. My boy got some diablo spinners for his GS, and one of them stopped spinning the DAY AFTER he got them!!! have not worked properly since!!

Here is a pic of the Dub Trump spinner, you can get this wheel with tires for about 5k, and it looks alot better than the add ons man IMO
