I could go with a 245/35/19 and get the RE750's for 35% off (they would last for more than 25,000 miles) but i want as much sidewall as i can as i only plan on dropping the car with tokico d-specs and tein h-tech springs (mild drop) therefore i need to have the same size on all four corners to be able to rotate them. I dont think i'll have a problem with bent rims because i'm getting the 40 series sidewall and the streets here in SD arent as harsh as some other places around the country.

Got Nitto Neo Gens for $560 installed. At least they spin easier

He can get another HRE with the offset questions i've asked him. That makes two.

don't give me any ideas. I got my eyes on 3 different wheels right now for next spring. I'm going agressive this time. I'm waiting to see what comes out at SEMA.

A wheel offset is just a characteristic of a wheel, and does not have anything to do with the cost of the wheel.
