the conservative offsets work fine for me... the last thing I wanted was any hint of poke.

Looks great Bob, and I checked the offset calculator and

according to it - a 25mm offset puts the rears about 3.7mm outside the rear fenders! Obviously that isn't the case. What is your front offset?

here are my offsets (copied from the invoice from Wheel Enhancement)

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/zgtt/tt+pics/3.2.07b.jpg"></center><p>front 8.5 x 18 (32mm offset)
rear 9.5 x 18 (25mm offset)

and yes, I saw that figure as well when getting these ordered. We arrived at these figures by working off what I had with the RH rims and 25mm front and 30mm spacers. Going to 9.5 vs 10" allowed me to get back in from the poke of the RH rims... (see pic)

Interesting numbers, WAY different than the calculator calls for which is why

I was concerned about using it for my wheels. Hopefully i'll find out the offsets that were used on my wheels. IIRC - I spec'd 25mm fronts and 30mm rear - which is about 2-3mm in from what the calculator said was flush.
