Default Help with offsets

I am shopping for some wheels and am trying to achieve a certain look.

Can anyone tell me what you think the wheel/tire sizes and offsets are on this car?

not sure about offset in the first pic. it has to be in the low 20s in the back (assume 10"), and the front looks like low 20s to me too (assume 9)

for the lative, they are very expensive. i beleive they are forged, and AC wheels are always not cheap. prepared to spend around 4k on the wheels (20s) i think

Thanks i love this style wheel.

do you know of any other wheel with this style but about 1000 cheaper?

i was at the local wheel shop this weekend and saw a MOMO wheel in the MOMO catalog that looked almost the same as this wheel but i can t find it on line anywhere. i think it is called the TXX or FXX or something lke that.

the guy quoted me 4000 with tires which is a really good price for any forged 20" with tires i think.

what do you think?

ummm, how about the works rezax universal? it looks about the same, i am not sure about the price in 20s though, but it wont' be cheap, the msrp on those are pretty darn expensive as well. other than that, i don't recall other good quality wheels in that style?

yes those are nice too. i have pricing on those. they arent too bad.

sorry to take this OT

lets get back to the sizes / offsets

so i am thinking 20x8.5 +25 with 245/30/20 and 20x10 +30 with 285/25/20? i want it to look like the car above.

any problems with this rubbing with my car this low?

these wheels were on the car when i go it they are stock 18" size.

that's better but you can still go more. i have 9 +30 and 10.5 +29, and i have seen 9 +24 and 10 +24, that's pretty much max already. if you want to put 285 in the back, pull back a bit on the offset, do around 10 +28 or so.

the lower the car the more it helps actually, coz' the camber will dial in more and more

the front offset doesnt look too agressive prob +30-+35 but the rear looks like a +20-+30. Hard to tell since its tucking big time

Mine are running a 20mm offset and sit very flush with my car. Looks perfect.
