Ruffing Racing 280's?

Debating weither or not to get them in chrome/polished or black with the lip and a black berger.. anything bad wrong with having the +45 offset forward/back I love the lip :devil: and anyone got pics of a red Z with black/polished lip with black berger..

I like those.

Gun5 Feb 14, 2008 01:45 PM

i cant believe noone runs them for the price under 1k they are 18's with a a +45 offset which is nasty.. I think slam it and black it out call it a day

If the fitment is like the 278's then a 45mm offset on an 18 will not clear the calipers in the front. Just FYI since I went down that road.

You should be able to do the 8.5 width wheels up front with a 35mm offset just like us 278 guys do.

Those spokes appear to flare more than the 278's though, so MAYBE the 9.5 width 45mm wheel will work up front. It's a gamble.

i have 49mm offset's on my 18 inch privats with no issues and alot of people run the AR rebels with alot lower offset than 45??? the lower the # the farther the wheels sticks out the higher the # the farther in the wheels is.

LOHRTBT Feb 17, 2008 09:33 AM

Not a fan in chrome, it's just to much bling for me.

99zman Feb 18, 2008 03:31 PM

slick1851 Apr 6, 2008 07:19 PM

Low offset in the rear and higer in the front for more lip
