Alright, so as many of you know I ordered some custom wheels with a crazy offset that most people said would not fit and that I was crazy.

Well here they are on, I know most people won't like the color or style of wheel but its okay. It's hard to tell from this view but the wheels are pretty concave in the rear.

This is with sportline springs, will probably go a bit lower once they settle.

Wheel specs:
18x9.5 +30 front
18x10.5 +30 rear

They are Varrstoen V2.2.1's and I'm about to paint the center caps white so they don't stick out so much.

And a lot of people complained about sportlines, but I actually prefer them over my BMR's so far. Actually seem a lot less stiff and give a more comfortable ride.

Kudos to you for trying something different. They look good minus the stretched tires, What sizes are they?

I would have done a wider tire but when I go lower I need the tire to tuck in the fender. 275 is still decent width.

Don't really care for the white on red, but the wheels look pretty decent.

Thumbs up

Got a little club racer look going on. I like it.

In the back... with that offset it looks like you may have a problem going 295, and 315 definitely looks out of the cards. Think you have enough room there or are you happy staying 275 on the rear?
