Question about 18 inch wheels Will 18x9.5 wheels with a 35 mm offset fit on a 2000 ws6 on all four corners? The wheels I'm looking at are lorenzo wl 21. They only come in 35 and 48 mm offset. I am not sure that the 48 will set out enough. Thanks in advance for the help.

rims hi, the 48mm off-set would be better. i just got some 18" rims with a 45mm off-set and they fit perfect. plus our stock off-set is higher than 50mm. so i would say the 48mm would fit perfect.

after reading the stickey ......xsta had ran wheels with a 38mm offset and said they looked fine.....i would run a 35mm offset....just roll the fender
besides i dont like the sucked in look either....so its either cut the inside of the fender well or roll the lip

The 48mm offset will be hassle free and in my opinion look better then a 35mm offset with the tires sticking out past the fenders. Andy's 38mm made the tire exactly even with the fender.

The 38mm offset did look fine, however he took a big chunk of rubber out of his tire due to the fender lip. He ended up having to roll the fenders some. After talking with Andy he would have preferred something less aggressive. Another member had a similar instance and blew out one of his tires shortly after getting them mounted. Basically if you car is lowered you will need to roll the fender with that type of offset. Welcome back ls1leadfoot, glad you read the sticky.

I agree
At stock height the rear shouldn't be a big problem with 35mm but the fronts will stick out of the wheel well. Stick with the 48's you'll thank us later.
