i dont get what that has to do with anything?? haha i posted what is available in the wheel i want. that will FIT our car.

however from a little drawing i did inorder to visually grasp the concept, wouldnt a 9.5 wide in the rear at +65 offset set the wheel out towards the fender by .5 inches? since the offsets are the same as stock AP2 V1 wheels, and i am increasing wheel size by 1 inch in width. and since offset is determined by the wheels centerline it would make sense that that is the case. am i correct? same rule applies with the front.

I do not know how to explain it, just stating that like with RPF1's and Work Emotions Cr that is you want an aggressive setup, i.e. a lip or concave face, you have to go with 17x9 +45 (RPF1's) or 17x9.5 +38 (RPF1's) or 17x9 +44 (Emotions Cr)

makes sense. what wheels are these? 9.5 +65 i have never seen.

if you are convinced you cant run a 265 (which you can), why would you want a 9.5'' wheel? you can run a 255 easily on 8.5 +54 (or higher offset for an OEM recessed look)...

no im sayin it seems like no one runs a 265 on +50 in the rear, i want it to be safe, and have the option of running 275 if i can without clearance issues. i know its possible to run those tire sizes, but it all comes down to the offset. and they are SSR's

im probably lower than your car as im on KW V3's that is why I am opting for the +65 in the rear so i can run 265/275 without worrying about dips or anything. i would like to see a pic whenever you can though. can you also post your wheel width? thanks.

sorry to be a nuisance but do you have one of a little more angle but still a side shot, instead of purely the side. i dont know if you understand what i mean or not.. haha its just from that view on the first pic i cant see where the rim is really. thanks for the pics though!
