Yeah Five Axis shaved/milled the front wheels to a +33 offset for free. They originally came with a +30 offset. I got this knowledge from the Five Axis Wheel Owners Thread. Someone else had done it on there and didn't have any rubbing problems, so I thought I'd do it too. Not sure how much 3mm is gonna accomplish, but hey, I wasn't going to be the one to challenge it lol. The Rear wheels came with a +35 offset and I just left them at that.

I haven't had any rubbing problems and did not do any fender mods. I'm guessing I'll be alright. I'm curerntly lowered on Tein S. Tech springs.

With +30 do the wheels stick out?

Not at all. I think everyone pretty much goes with that offset. I haven't heard any negative complaints in regards to that offset. I just liked how the car looked with the +33 offset so I just went with that.

Congrats on the wheels 8lastoff! The bronze looks great on black! Glad some of my info helped. FYI, I had mine milled to give me a little extra room due to the fact that I wanted to tuck the fronts, not stretch the tires, and keep my fenders straight

Hey thanks Fishn! Yeah, I had a feeling you milled them for a good reason. That should come in handy when I eventually get some coilovers. Thanks for posting the info you did. I just hope my car can look as clean as your car someday

Love the black and gold color. Tint and redouts would really add to the look!
