They are awesome in person. Did Rishie hook you up like I thought he would? Anyways I have no idea what bortex is. They will look awesome once on the car.

Yep, Rishie gave me a good deal, even included hub rings and new lugnuts.

Any more offset and you would need some negative camber to dial the top of the wheel in. The rears will be about flush with the fender as well wearing 255s.

Yeah, that would be a little far out. I have +25 on my 17x8s up front and it is just about as flush as you can get.

heck, i have 15mm spacers on my stock TII rims and i like how they fit. so if he'd put 15mm on his they'd prolly be stickin out. i think a 35-40 offset on 8" works best up front. and maybe the same offfsets for the rear with a 9" rim. i guess with 8" rims in the back, a 25mm offset would fit well.
