Default Work Wheels

Hi im looking at buying some 18x8.5 wheels for the back and 18x17.5 wheels for the front im looking at the work emotions KAI and it has a max offset in the rear of 43mm and in the front of 42mm i think that was it i was looking at them on vividracing.com but since the offsets are so close to the minimum will it work out and the fact that the offsets for the front and the back are off a little will it make them look funny?

18x17.5 is huuuuuuge!!! That is definitely a typo........I hope.

Don't mess with Vividracing, go straight to the Work man here.

He is the only one I would ever order Work wheels through. I just ordered my XD9's and I got them in less than 1.5 weeks!!

He can tell you what will fit and you can get SAFE fitment or AGGRESSIVE. He has all the info and top notch customer service.

could not agree more there.

Your offset selection is fine... You will not be able to do the concave face which is 9.5 +38mm... I tried it and ended up getting different wheels... however i did 18x7.5 +48mm and it was PERFECT. no rubbing at all, flush with front fender.

Nothing is impossible to run it is just how much performance you are willing to give up to get that look you want. You could run the 9.5 +38 with maxed out stock camber, additional aftermarket camber kit -2 degrees, stretched tires, and rolled fenders.................Would it look goofy as all get out....HELL YES IT WOULD!!

Get with Riley and cease all your worries as he will take care of you, with whatever your Work needs may be.
