My bad... :/ I didn't even think about him having a 1st gen. All I really paid attention to was the work varianza's.

Guys tell him what size and brand tires you are running with these wheels. makoa3, if you don't want these mild stretches and a more typical tire size (minimal stretch), back off 10-20mm offset so that you can have fender clearance. Stretching will alter that based on sidewall. More stretch, you'll be able to get a bit lower offset.

This is a conservative fitment suggested from VIP Style. You can go either way depending on tire sidewall characteristics.

All depends what you're going for if you want something really grippy, something really comfortable, or something that will stretch well. Do you wanna go stance or DD?

What characteristics do you want in a tire?
Long tread wear, grip, noise, price...

uhh those are on the big side for your chassis, hope you don't plan on going too low. that's a massively meaty setup for a 1LS.
