need to find out what is the lowest offset need to get this type of offset in the rear. want to keep the staggered set up and only the rear concave. pretty much like this pic i found. the rims in the pic looks like 18's, i want to 17's though. any help much appreciated.

the ones in the pic are 18x8 +48 and 18x9 +55. I have the same set sitting in my garage waiting on ups to bring my tires.

My old wheels were SSR Type C's 17x7.5 and 17x9 +40 all around and those are really concave and the fronts will fit a BBK kit like spoon, rotora, stoptech. Good luck finding those tho, the stopped making those sizes a long time ago. pm me and i'll tell you who bought them from me

Here's my old wheels

Jim@tirerack

I believe they made a 17X8 ET48 and a 17X9.5 ET65. I do have one 17X9.5 available at 449.00 per wheel. If I can help let me know.

I have the same wheel (exact same specs). I believe the front is designed to accommodate a BBK setup (there appears to be a good bit of clearance with the stock setup).

My rear ( 18x9 +55) has that concave look:



Great looking wheel. Very light too, like 4-8lbs lighter than my AP2V2 (though tire brands/models can make some difference too).

Do you rub at that height? I have the same wheels and i rub'd a little up front so i raised it up a half inch. Also only fits a bbk with a 3mm spacer. i don't know if it would clear without it but i don't think so
i was this low

The back just barely catches when the suspension really compresses - I'm still running a OEM spec alignment, so I think a touch more of negative camber would fix me up (maybe even just the UK spec). I don't want to go super radical or anything.

Also I think just a mild fender roll would make it clear too. I might do the UK alignment first just to see how things work out.

That picture looks a good bit lower than mine (my picture is a little deceiving from that angle). I'm running Espelir ASD springs only.

i'm running buddy clubs n+ and oem spec alignment. I have 2 degrees camber in the rear tho so they don't rub at all. the front will barely rub every once in a while now that i've raised it a tad
