Work t1s
Hey guys I know these wheels have been talked about a lot but its like the more I read about them just the more confused I get. I LOVE these wheels but i'm completely unsure of what offsets to get and what size and brand tires to go with. I don't want anything that im going to have to roll the fenders or modify anything. My car is an IP color lowered on S Techs. Also what color do you all think will look best with an IP colored car? Silver, chrome ,etc. What vendor would you all recommend to buy the wheels from? Sorry i'm still somewhat a newbie and don't know how to post pictures but heres my car as it is now.

Don@TireOption I have dealt with when I ordered my T1S. His customer service is top notch.
RavSpec is also a good vendor. I have heard good things from them across the board.
As for your wheel specs, it all depends on what look you want. You say now that you don't want to roll your fenders with your S-Tech to clear, but are you sure you won't change your mind later? Rolling your fenders isn't a big deal. If you're going to shell out some 3k on these wheels, then I would HIGHLY recommend you at least get your rear fenders rolled, so then you'd have maximum clearance in the rear when selecting your wheels. Also, will you want to run a BBK in the future? This will affect the lip size in the front. Are you looking for 19's or 20's? How flush do you want to be?
These are all questions you need to ask yourself.
Finishes are all up to you. Any color of wheel will look good on your car, so this is all what YOU want and not about what we tell you.
Edit: And cue Fab into this thread... to say how ugly my car is. GO FAB!

Hey thanks for the info. I defiantly want 20 inch t1s and I guess it wouldn't be a big deal to just roll the rears. I think i'll have to get the bbk fitment for the front cause i have the stock brembos. What did you go with as far as offset and tire brand and sizes and what all if anything did you have to do to make your wheels fit?

Specs are as follows:
F: 20x9.5 +15, A-Disc, Yoko S-Drives 245-35-20
R: 20x10.5 +15, O-Disc, Yoko S-Drives 275-30-30
Step lip in Lightning Silver finish.
Rears rolled flat. Front has a slight pull, since I got too thick of tires in the front. Dropped on Megan Streets, maxed out in the rear. Front and rear SPC Arms w/toe bolts.
I'm switching up my set up in about 2 weeks tho.
You will need to get R-Disc face in the front to clear you factory brembos.

I would just buy the proper offsets. Why mess with spacers, fender rolling, tire stretching and crap like that.
My previous coworker has a G35 Sedan with 20's, dumped and very aggressive offset. To make up for it, he had to buy smaller tires. Even then, every time he made a U-turn, it rubbed like crazy. Even damaging the plastic wheel well panel.
It's was mad ghetto. Car was also bouncy as hell.
As for tires, it all depends on your budget. Since our cars has camber issues, I would try to get the Nitto NeoGenz. Since the inner wheel are made from a 'harder' material than the outer wheels. Giving the tires a longer life. But NeoGenz only come in very limited sizes.
