I agree. Love this wheel and should have jumped on Johnnyone's when I had the chance.

One option right now is to get some AME Shallen LX's in 18's, throw on 38mm spacers and it would be an 8.5/9.5 +0 offset. I'm looking at just about 2k with tires after buying the wheels, spacers, tires, adjusting the suspension and doing some more fender work.



Ya I'd probably have to do that, but see if it's even possible going from a 5x130 to 5x114.3
ive seen it done on vortex.com. theres a few threads over there where guys filled the current lug holes and then have them re-drilled. running wobble bolts is pretty common in the euro crowd too. i wouldnt run them. ive also seen spacers that change lug patterns

When u first did the step lip wheels it was perfect.. I'd do about the same specs but maybe 19's and go lower..
