I do like the gold. It appeals much more to the "wow" factor on an internet screen. I'm afraid IRL though, it will just look "blingy". "Bold" is good. "Blingy" not so much I've decided on Matte bronze. I've had matte branze wheels before and loved them, and I think the matte bronze will keep me happy long term.... versus "right now". Plus, with wheels as large as these things are.... maybe going "a bit" more subdued is wise. Matte black is my go-to..... and what I've used on the past several cars. So I wanted a change this time. Hopefully ordering within the next week. Everything else is already here.. tires, tpms.. even the drop links. |

For every extra inch in wheel width you can expect them to come out 1/2 inch on each side with the factory offset. So your 12inch rear wheel will pop both in and out 3/4 more than the stock 10.5 inch wheel.

I'm aware. I actually think it will extend more than .75 inches,.because I believe .75 inches inside, would rub the wheel wells. Not 100% sure, but I trust that they know what they are doing.

Obviously this is a different year, and different color.
But....these are the Vossen HF-2s. fronts are 10.5, rears are 12. This is the look I'm anticipating. He needs a mild lowering. I will be doing one as well. Last edited by Ninefourteener; 06-17-2020 at 06:43 PM.. |

Cool and congratulations! I will want to see how yours look before I purchase mine. I plan to stick with the stock 22 wheel and tire size so it doesn’t increase the unstrung weight. What color caps are you going with? I think black caps would look sharp.

I'm a bit thrown off though. What is the "+2" part? I get the rest (+39 and +48)... but I'm confused about what "+2" means. I'm actually quite happy with this setup. They tucked the wheels up under the car quite nicely. I was actually worried they would poke out too far, and make the car look like a roller skate. Now, if I want to, I can always add spacers (which I already own 2 different sizes to test-fit, with lugs and locks to match them).... but if they poked out too far from the get-go, there's nothing I could do.

Regarding the "size".... I actually don't like the look of the OEM 22s. IMO, they don't look "deep" enough, as they have almost no... "concavity" (Is that a word? Lol). IMO, because they are taller, with a lower profile tire, it actually gives the illusion that they are "thinner" than my 21s. I know they aren't, but they "look" that way to me. My thought, is that I couldn't justify the price, unless I went "all out" with wheels that were wider than what came stock. A few extra lbs? Ehh... I probably will barely notice it, if at all.
