Default SSR Future owner....

....I just need some help with the wheels. I've been looking for three months and trying to make the right decision. I think that I've done it. The SSR MS1 R 16x8's but I'm uncertain of the relevence of the size chart offsets in +SL and +NR. If you don't have any idea what I'm talking about check out the link:

Helps greatly appreciated and I will post pics when I get them installed.

To try and clear it up...

SL - Super Low Disk
NR - Normal Disk

This is in reference to the shape of the wheel face. The category headers (24mm, 38mm, so on...) are referring to how much measurable lip there is. And, the actual wheel offset is listed in the boxes below. But, the SL series wheels have much less brake clearance, so you may want to think about that.

what's the difference in the disk clearances?

If you're looking for an exact measurement, I don't really know that much about those wheels. I do know that the SL's are catered more towards RWD chassis, due to the increased rotor hat size and more clearance.
