Stacking Spacers??

I know this might sound stupid but i have extended lugs with 10mm on but then i decided its not enough so i want to put on spacers that have the bolts drilled in.

so it'd be extended lugs with 10mm then slide the 30mm onto the extended, tighten those down then i'll have the bolts off the 30mm to put the wheel on..?? i know how i just explained it might sound weird , but try and think about it? haha, Thanks

You could do it but honestly DO NOT.

Running a 40mm spacer in one piece is sketchy as hell, definitely do not make it two things that can fail.

Just get rid of the wheels and buy something that fits.

Agreed, you can find some stupid aggressive **** in Texas.

And honestly, you can buy CHEAP wheels that come aggressive enough for what you want to do.

If you want baller wheels for cheap money check out VRwheels. They import all kinds of **** and price the wheels properly.

Somewhere between -46 and +55

There is not such thing as perfect offset. Some people prefer a 10.5 +22 other prefer a 10.5 -30. To one, the other looks dumb and vice versa.

Exactly, there is no "perfect" offset. Totally depends on how you want to run your setup.

Please heed this advice. Both Blain and Marcus know what they're talking about. Hell, they know more about coupe offsets (despite driving a sedan) than majority of coupe drivers do.

Ask yourself though, what kind of look are you going for when it comes to picking out wheels and wheel specs.

How low do I want to go? Do I want to be conservative? Do I want to be aggressive with a lot of camber, stretch, and poke? Do I want to run wide wheels?

These questions should also correlate to how you're willing to drive too. Lower you go, more places you can't go. Couple that with an aggressive wheel set up with negative offsets, that also eliminates places that you can't go as well. See how the list keeps getting smaller and smaller?

^ agreed.

Post some pics of cars that you want your car to look like (please don't post widebodies, I'll cry) and we can give you an idea of what goes into a car to make them to look that way.

Oh I wasn't saying I don't like widebodies. But some guys post up pictures of Widebodied cars with 7" lips and say I want 7" lips but I'm want to roll my fenders.

I love almost every widebody G on here.
