Default I stumbled across these on ebay.

Well in my search for OEM WS6 wheels I stumbled across these wheels on ebay. I'm not a fan of the 8.5" width up front, but I thought these were a nice looking wheel. I also see that they have 35MM offset. I read in the "Does this fit" thread +38 is the most you might wanna go. Would these stick out at all and if so it would it be too much (forgive my ignorance). I like wheels that are even with the fender.

Let me know what you guys think.

Well IMO 9.5 is decent for the rear. I'm not worried about having a very wide wheel up front. I was just wondering if anyone knew if these would stick out or not. I realize that +38 is about as far as you wanna go, but then again these aren't Vette wheels.

I dunno.

The 5 x 120 mm bolt pattern is not the correct size. It should be 5 x 120.65 mm. They will fit, and a lot of people run this size, just keep an eye on your lugnuts to make sure they stay tight.

They should fit just fine. Also, I had 8.5" wide fronts before on my Formula and just ran a 265/30/18 tire and they looked great. Put some 295/35/18s on the rear and you are set.

Those aren't bad at all for the price. Too bad I have a set of 17" tires, instead of a set of 18s.

Those look good on there. 10.5's out back?

Does anyone know if the offset will work or not?
