Concept One RS8 Wheels and Varrstoen ES 1.1.2 are nice looking rims for reasonable price

I saw the car from the side picture, my personal suggestion is get an alignment and them go from there....

To see how far you want it just measure from the outside of the rim to where you actually want it....but if i was you i will just do the alignment it will probably look more flush than now....

My question is Do you have a camber kit in the front? if so do what i told you and it will get you set.....

what i see in the pic is that you lower your car, so your wheels are actually a little tuck outside to the bottom of the wheel...once you do this will give you more straight angle than the one you have now.....

10mm is a 3/8 inch that's really close to a finger width depends how fat you are LMAO...20mm is almost an inch is to much and 15mm is 5/8 inch more than 1/2 inch I will go with 10mm spacers if you need it....but i think you will rub...dont know!!!

Hmm I'm still not feeling the whole convexness of the fronts.
And is it just me or does the side profile of the rim look like the lip(where the rim meets the tire) is just too big?
Does that make sense?

I dont think its too hard, but more time consuming than anything.
someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that you can tap them out (more force then a tap). Then using some washers and a lug nut to pull the new ones through into place. As you tighten the lug nut it pull the stud into the hub. I've never dont it so I might be off there, thats just what I heard.
I just dont like the idea of longer studs because I swap wheels in the winter. I guess I could use open ended lug nuts, but bolting on some spacers with built in studs is so nice...Easy on, easy off back to stock. Plus they cost about the same.

Nice, any idea what the rear lip will be. The lip on my rear wheel is 4.25" and I love it, thats what sold me on the wheels.
