I have but it doesn't tell me how to measure the offset so see how far out or in my wheels would set so I could see before I order them.

Well lets say I'm looking at a set of 255/45/18 but I want a lip on the front and the back. Now I know with a lot of wheels the wider u go the less lip they will have. I'm looking to get a set that's as wide as I can fit under the front without rubbing and with a lip. I really want a set of hp evos
