very very tempted even if I have to roll the guards to an extreme

Same rims as Jim's mate. Only his are +50... Have a look and you'll get the idea of what amount of guard pumpin you gotta do!

50-35 = 15 is that how you measure it? if that's it then holy crap

For the purposes of what your doing, that'll be enough info for ya :wink:

I reckon if you roll the guards, beef up the bumpstops to ensure the guards never drop to the wheel level, and run 195 or 205 series tires, it just might work!

Myself and a couple of other Gen4 owners have all looked at getting these wheels, but the offset is just too low for the size of the guards on the lib...

i wonder how much would it cost to roll the gaurds so much out and repainting them. I mean the idea is pretty cool because it makes the car looks wider and meaner.

Probably be cheaper to buy the Corazon wide body kit, import it, and get that painted and fitted.........

If you drive the car hard, then forget those wheels.

Even if you can get panels to stop them from rubbing, may as well go out and buy the tools to change your own wheel bearings, because the increase in scrub radius will mean you are doing it OFTEN.

If you just putt around and want them for the look, then machine 10mm from the face that mounts to the hub. Sure, you'll compromise their strength, but they'll only finish up as weak as a $1000 set of cheapos anyway.

Simple answer, they don't fit.

If worse comes to worst: buy them, put them on the car, take as many pictures as time will allow, and then take them back off and re-sell them.

hahah... the simple solution is to pass up the great deal on the wheels that despite being awesome, just weren't made to fit the car!

If your dead keen on a set of these wheels... save up and buy the proper offset/size!

damn it Arith's suggestion sounds pretty good, how much would a 50 offset cost now with the dollar?

Last time I looked it was close to $4k + tyres... :roll:
