It's fine. You helped me do some chopping on those wheels for my car and made a clearer perspective. No offense taken. :D

Actually I've already decided to get the RX-6s. I just need to know if I'll rub with a +35 offset dropped on Hotchkis. If I will, do you think getting 215/40/18 instead of 225/40/18 is a good idea?

If my memory serves me right, it's like 1.7" in the front and 1.9" in the rear. But when installed, the front looks lower than the rear and sometimes they even out.

Well, they only have it with +48 and +35. So do I go for +35 and get 5mm spacers?

if you go 35 and put spacers on, its gonna push the wheel out more, most likely youl be safe with 35

So just +35 without the spacers? Got it...

How about the tires? 215/40/18 or 225/40/18?

Isn't 225 too thick?

How about 225/35/18?

Yeah I saw the sidewall height of the tires you're running and I think they're fine. Maybe I need to see them up close because pictures don't do justice. Of course, I'm also considering of supporting my wheels. Don't wanna end up having a bent wheel...

Thanks "scion_jon" Im sorry I do not have a bigger pic of the avatar because I found the avatar on this site and it was only sized to fit the avatar space. There are several different avatars posted that you can set as your avatar though. By the way, I really like your wheels, what kind are they?
