Thanks!

Those are ET35, we have since changed to ET32

Isn't 32mm too aggressive?..

I would think 38, 40mm would be better. My 18's with 35mm are way close to the fender...32 wouldn't work with a lowered car for sure.

Sorry..too ghetto..

even if you're using undersized tire widths it's riced. On the 18x8" wides, you're pushing out 11mm more than stock?! My 18x8 35mm's do rub especially with big dudes in the back!

Look, my point is, add some more offset options please (38, 40...).

The white sedan above has 19x8.5" ET38, puts the wheel face in the same spot as ET32

Haven't had any complaints of rubbing on the hundreds of wheels with those offsets that we have sold.

Bringing in all sorts of offsets adds extreme expense, so we limit what we produce. We do have some high offset versions in ET47, I guess you could use those with a 5mm spacer.
