What are the specs of the wheels (size/offset)? I'm still debating on 20x9.5" or 21x9.5" for my P44SC in brushed tinted clear...

Post photos once the wheels are on the car!

Is ET47 the recommended offset on a 9.5" width wheel from HRE? I was hoping for a lower offset and more concavity...

Can only speak to these and the P43SC that I looked at. Unfortunately, due to our brake caliper size, you are limited in the amount of concavity you can use. The standard SC wheels would not have worked, so they had to use something called an "HO" wheel that was less concave that could accommodate our brakes.

47 was the offset recommended by the HRE technician, and given how many wheels they make / sell, I didn't want to go against his recommendation.

As an FYI, I have a 20"x9" wheel with a 29 offset and it looks great. Personally I wouldn't go lower, but RobC has a 25 offset and he's happy with that. The flush look does wonders for this car.

When you look at a ruler to quantify 4mm, it really is pretty small. That being said, I'd probably go with ET30-32 if I had to do it again to fit 275/30 tires.
