Oh wtf 110 (W) isn't width. I feel dumb now.

I lowered the X with lowering links. But why the hell does these wheels look so much more beefier.

I went from these rims

to

There was really no change in size but the "110W from 106W".

Dang I don't even remember what the offset was on the older rims.
I was told the Style 168 offset is +45 rear.

EDITED:

Oh shit yeah the older rims says +37 offset compared to NEW +45 offset.

Style 168 is +45 FRONT, and +30 rear. So your hub is moved 15mm closer to the centerline of the wheel. So your tires stick out +/- 15mm more than they did before.

Edit: They should still fit fine without rubbing just like the style 214's. Did you have the 20x10 or 20x11 in the rear with the 214's?

The 214's were OEM? If so they should be 10" in front (ET40) and 11" in the rear (ET37). The 168's will be 9.5" in front (ET45) and 10.5" in the rear (ET30) though.

If the 214's were replicas... who knows what the offset might be.
