I think Crystalworks finish that he selected is going to be the finishing touch that sets the wheels off just right.

Thanks again, and yes I am hoping as well that they are going to go with factory center bore. I can't see why they wouldn't.

Because wider is better. Well, for me anyway... visually speaking. If I could stuff 355's under there I would... I like that steam roller tire look. As I said, it's a personal preference thing.

To get them lined up with the rear factory flares like mine are youd need offset of only around +5 (if you are keeping factory width of wheel). If you are lowered say 1.5/2"s or more offset difference will need to be about another 20 extra.

I was hoping you would chime in after looking at that page Josh posted. Very nice X, love the wheels/stance. Here is what I found on the 168's...

It shows +30 in the rear. I saw you were running a +0 after spacer and agree with you that a +5ish (though I am switching to 20x11) would probably be necessary to get fender flush with the 325/35 tire. Looks like I will have to settle for +24 though as it is the lowest they offer in 20x11. Will ask them about it for sure.

Thanks. I've always liked the 214's you are eyeing as well. Nice set of wheels. $1500 is pretty reasonable for the condition those appear to be in with run flats. Show up with cash and try to get a hundred bucks or so off. Can't hurt.
