Nice man, i like the fitment and the wheels go really well with your car. The location for the shoot is really good too.

Thanks Guys, yeah im a big fan of how the wheels look. small amount of rubbing over large or deep drops. i was hoping the wheels were more concave as thats how it was shown online.

I found those gsr rims you originally had for $530 in london. How did you like them. The ones I'm looking at are +35 offset so should hang out quite a bit further than yours did. Yours with +42 look to be about the same as stock offset wise.

they were MSR 095's i believe my set. and yes a 35 offset will push the wheel out further the only issue is that i have found after putting on 3 different sets of rims of different widths and offsets that with an 8inch rim the 35 offset will not be flush or anywhere near flush. the 42 was basically stock fitment. but the 35 would be better for sure. it would be .27 inches further out toward the fender than your stock wheel.

Ya I meant msr. Was late lol. So no issues with those rims ? Just changed them for ones with more offset/width ? I could always throw on a 5 mm spacer if need be to add a little extra. Should be good enough for me tho. Should be about 10 mm out from stock and 1/2" wider.

Unless your other rims are ready yet lol its been months !

yeah simple swap even same tires if you want. and you may want a 5mm spacer in the rear. yes the rim is 1/2 inch wider, but half that inch with be on the inside and not on the outside closer to the fender so you will gain 1/4 inch toward the fender and i believe the stock rim is a 18x7.5 w/ +35 offset meaning you are gaining just the 1/4 inch toward the fender. the 5 mm spacer in the rear will help and bring you down to a 30mm offset. the second set of rims i had were the 18x8.5 w/ +35 offset, they werent even close to flush, then i added the 10mm spacer bringing them down to a 25mm spacer. these rims were close to flush but my TSW's have a slight poke in the rear with a 18x9 +20 offset. The MSR's are nice wheels, what colour are u getting?

18x8.5 +35

Was looking at flat black I think. Stock rims are 18x7.5 +39 I believe. So gain 4mm of offset +1/4" from the extra 1/2" of width.

to be honest they havent even started, they are doing those for free so i really cant argue with them. and yeah its possible you could be flush, i am dropped over 2.5 inches which does make a difference with flushness
