Alright in light of my recent encounter with a curb, I'm doing some upgrades and making some changes to my hatch ( http://64.233.207.13/~citrek/ek )... i currently have black 16" slips... and am going to get 16" gun metal with polished lip slips from machiii.net. what offset should i get??? 40, 45, 48. i have a CTR conversion on... the black ones are 45 offset because i thought i was going to do the ITR conversion and i think the rims stuck out too much and rubbed the fenders on mildly hard cornering with the CTR setup... should i go with 5x114.3 @ 40 offset??? i think stock is 42 something right? please lemme know.

 

BUMP

 

I'm gonna say +45, but what size tire?

After re-reading your post I think +45 should work, but I'm not sure with the CTR setup

 

anyone else, i think 40, but not exactly sure if that would make the lip stick out further or in more.

The higher the offset the more it sticks out.

 

bump, yet again, anyone have input??? bueller?

 

40 should be good. EK have a bigger wheel house than eg
