if you place the hub in the slot and the mounting holes don't line up use a mallet to rotate the mounting "triangle" until it lines up. i wasn't aware that it rotated (with a little effort) when i did mine so my front drivers side is smashed, but it still works fine.

any place that has a lathe can probably make it happen. in a pinch you could always use a dremel, too. the hub bore isn't exactly a press/tight fit on the hub anyway.
my father is a machinist so we have all the necessary machines.

I know 20x9 offset 35 would fit but I wanted a little bigger in the back but I'm not sure if 20x10 would stick out ..on the tire part my friend and I going just play with the tire size at the shop so we can find the right size tires

the forgestars are 19x10 +42mm in back.
the wheels i'm currently running are 19x9.5 +33mm with a 3mm spacer to clear the front calipers. i'm also very low and because of that i have to run a pretty aggressive alignment and not as large of a tire (245/35R19).

I think a rim that sticks out doesn't look good at all. But that's me.....
Its too bad that they only made the stockers 8.5 inches wide. Another inch and a 275 tire would have fit the bill' The stock rim is a good looker for an o.e. rim. Most aftermarket rims on the V1 look like dogshit.

i probably can't run any more tire or wheel without more camber or pulling my fenders. i'm about as aggressive as you get without going all out. -3.3 degrees of camber front and rear currently.

Does it feel like it runs on rails on some roads?

i still drive it relatively hard without much issue. i just have to pay attention to make sure i don't drive through anything that'd bottom the car out, but it still happens from time to time.
