i got 18x9.5 +20

it was that or +22 or +38 which both weren't as good :/

Sleepingpanda is running 18x9.5 +38 work wheels I don't believe he had issues with the studs but I don't see why ur wheels wouldn't work with factory studs.

studs come into play when you're dealing with spacers

ok that confirms what i thought! There is no reason why i should need to worry about this right?

If you needed longer studs, they are available... depends on how thick the center section of the wheel is where it bolts to the flange.


Procivic ( and probably others ) carry extended studs.

I like the 2nd paragraph in "Offset and it's effects" in the article Webby linked above.

I won't be angry in the slightest. Not being a fan of the "stance/retard wheel & tire fitment" trend it always breaks my heart to see supremely awesome wheels used for idiotic purposes. That being said, everybody likes something different, and it's their right to do what they want to their own car.

Now if you get to the point where you're bragging about your stance being SO mega JDM, and herra tyte that you've cracked 3 oil pans (like others I've seen) I assure you that I'll flame the hell out of you.

baaaaahahahahahahahah!! noooo! Even if i get coilovers, i'm going to make them as high as possible to get them close to stock height

And i'll be using the wide wheel with wider tires so traction will be absurd

it's gonna be crazy! Was just told that rolling the fenders may not work.. can't do more than 1"?! WHAAA! lol

Roll too much and you'll damage the paint. It can only flex so much

usually you heat the paint and roll the fender tho... i'm confused
