Likely offset.

offset is 32 and we need at least 42...preferably 48 or higher

Would depend on the size of tire and width of wheel to truly determine wheel offset. ;-)

Tru...I was basing my answer on the complete package. They are 18 x 7.5 wheels with 225/40 ZR18 tires. Total od matches that of the stockers, but the distance from back of the wheel to the back of the hub is 5.5 inches where it is 6.5" on the stocks.

To be honest with ya, I was looking for something with a little lip. Can't find anything due to the offset.

Sorry bro. You're not the first to look for a wheel with some lip for our cars. The journey is long and hard..:lol::tdown:

Believe it or not Motegi does some big lips and their quality is getting pretty decent for a cast wheel

Yeah Motagi is pretty lame, they are made by American Racing, and were used in The Fast and the Gay movies. Look at my rims, they actually have a small lip, but the spokes bulge out. Cool look, and if you wanna come hang out at a meet or something I can bring one along so you can check it out. BTW I am rollin os stocks wrapped in snows now. Let the winter fun begin :)
