A Lil Wheel Help ??
i know a lot of you older guys call us crazy and dont like big wheels but i figured why not be different and switch up the look.i went to a couple rim shops and after not getting to much help wit the selection i just started looking online and in catalogs and think iv decided on a wheel.
i think imma go with a Malanni ZS-1 - 453 Gloss Black with SS Lip ..want something open and a black face with chrome rivets.. and dont see the point to coming out with the big bux for a multi piece wheel.
so i decided on this .. but now im having a problem ,looks like this wheel only comes in a 5 X 114.3 with the right offset. not exactly sure on the factory offset but also wanted a higher offset to clear the caliper (soon to be on the car if god truly loves me!)
And i know iv read alot how the 5 X 115 isnt 5 X 114.3 and how it does matter but then again we got guys out there with cobra wheels so idk what to believe this my first time swapping out to something aftermarket and looking for some help . also couldnt find any pics of cars with that wheel so kinda had to imagine my black SS on it but would imagine it pretty clean.
im planning on going with a 22 X 8.5 and a 5 X114.3 with either a 32 or a 38 offset.. a 245-30-22 tire

I wouldn't run a 114.3 offset with such a large wheel. The main horror stories you read about with 114.3 are with large wheels.
Also make sure the hub bore is big enough and run hubcentric rings to make sure they're centered properly.
