just curious, but how do you know? these wheels come in different widths and offsets.

I wanted to get these wheels, so I compared how several widths look like on the 8th gen. A 9 inch wheel, looks different from an 8.5, while that width looks slightly different from that of an 8.0. I pick up on minutia like this easily.

the offset would change how it looks though; for example, a wider wheel with a higher offset would look the same as a skinner wheel with a lower offset.

^maybe ken knows the owner?
but anyhow, i think its a 45 offset because the spokes
have the bow shape. with a 35, its not that much of a bow to the spokes
because the lip is out further than the spokes. with a 45 offset, the spokes are
slightly out further than the lip and thats what those wheels look like.

Knowing what is offered for the RPF1's also limits the possibilities. Seven inch wide wheels only come in stock offset, while 7.5 comes with +48. From the photos the wheels are not too deeply set in the wheel well. With 8.0 the only two offsets offered are +45 and +35. Again with how the face looks relative to the car it looks (to me at least) like a +35. Again, these are my approximations.

well now i noticed the lip and it could be a 35. but seeing how far in the wheel sits, it looks like a 45. the 35 would be flush with the fenders

A +35 wouldn't be perfectly flush.

the majority of peoples "eyechrometer" isn't calibrated to notice a y'know 0.3 inch difference.
