Default WORK MEISTER S1 OWNERS...need info please

ok so Im 99% ready to purchase wheels from AutoRnD...specifically Work Meister S1 3-piece wheels (black/polished lip).

but I want to get some information from current owners. I want 18's and I've been given the following sizes:

18x8 +56 F (45mm lip...i think)
18x9 +68 R (58mm lip)

The thing I just need confirmation on is the rear +68 with the 58mm lip. I remember reading somewhere that 18x9 +62 (58mm lip) was possible? I want to trust AutoRnD, but I just wanted to see what you other owners were running.

I will be using a 255/35 tire in the rear and will be lowered on Coil-overs, I do not want to roll the fenders.

Can S1 owners post their details?

thanks
Chris

^^ what size do you have in the front? And do you have any pics?

Also, I finally found the actual WORK manufacturer size/offset chart which lists all the sizes for A and O disk wheels with MM lip sizes etc.
Turns out, based on this spreadsheet, the 18x9 +68 is a 45mm lip, the 18x9.5 +62 is the 58mm lip.

I guess Auto RnD had too many papers in front of them;-) No biggie, I'll call them back today to confirm. This is why I love the Internet.

I have Work S1s in Monte Carlo Blue

I am running

18x7.5 +37 front with a 215/35/18 tire
18x9.0 +62 rear with a 245/35/18 tire

I can run a 255 tire. I am also at a 3 inch drop all around with no rubbing issues with a BBK.
Not too sure on the mm of the lip. I will check later.

^^thanks.

I would think that due to your BBK, your front wheel is going to be totally different then mine.

I did a little more research and found some other people running the 18x9.5 +62 also.

I won't be dropping the car 3" 1-1.2 will be fine for me.
