20" axis shine owners

I'm looking at getting a set of axis shine.

The only thing that I am not sure about is the +15 offset of the fronts. Some of the pictures I've seen, it looked like they were sticking out. Some were okay for some reason.

Can any of the axis shine owners give some opinion on this? picture would help as well.

Thanks in advance.

Works great for me - the +15 offset is great man. Best decision I made with this car so far.

The front doesn't stick out at all - pretty much sits flush with the fender. Will try to take better pics but these are what I have for now. Hope this helps.

Is that a 15mm offset for the rear too?

Offset is based on wheel width.

The typical Volk 9.5" front is +22 or +17

The Shine 9" +15 front is 1mm more than the 9.5" +22 and 4mm less 9.5" +17.

Here are some pics of my shines. My front wheels look a little sticking out because I need to get a alignment they don't rub at all.

I had to raise my car a little due to being too low with my old springs so my alignment is a little out of whack.

Don't worry you won't have any problems.

I also have Shines. they do not stick out at all with the offset.
Heres a question I've had for some time. What do you call the rectangular piece that goes in the front bumper and where can I get one?

You can get it from the dealer, but it's not painted it is just black plastic . I lost mine when I had to get my car towed into a trailer.

I have a new one I just have to get it painted a paint shop won't paint something so small unless you are getting other stuff done to use up the extra paint.

I forgot it's called a tow hook cover.

I can't remember give the dealer a call about it.

I think it was less than $25.
