The information about the offset was extremely valuable and helpful to me! That probably accounts for wheels wider than 6" not fitting up front! I had read that the stock aluminum wheels (5.5jjx14) were 27mm offset, so I kept thinking the replacement wheels would have to be as well. I think the Enkeis I have on now are 35mm, but I could not swear to it.
I was thinking of doing something like 6" up front and 7" in back, but your information gives me a lot more options! I'm going to be checking into those American Racing Silverstones. They are a
TWO PIECE WHEEL. They look exactly like the Watanabes. The only thing is that American Racing wants roughly $1,345. for a set of five (5). I was thinking of getting three (3) custom made ones in 6jjx15 with an offset of 9mm (thanks to you!) and just buying two of their
ready-made ones in 7" for the rear. Those have an offset of 42mm. Let me know what you think of that offset at the rear since you are knowledgeable on the subject. If that offset should be too much, then I guess I will have to have American Racing do them ALL in 9mm, both in the front (6") and the rear (7").
Thanks again, man. I really appreciate your input!!
