Default 16x7 +42 anyone got pix or advice?

I was wondering if this was going to look super tucked in. I've read some posts and I know it will fit. I got some OTG shims for the back that should help bring it out, but I was wondering if anyone has pictures of a setup close to this or advice as to wheather it will look crappy because they'd be too tucked in. thanks in advanced

I somwtimes run with 16's with an offset about like that.With the shims on I think it will look ok, I also have about a 2" drop.

Evildave, Stylis and Squirrel have seen it on mine ask em what they think. Don't have any pics to post, maybe someone from one of the meets has a couple they could post up.

I've got 16x7 with a +37mm offset with OTG hub spacers. I know it's not exactly a +42mm offset. Your setup would be 5mm more tucked.

BEFORE OTG SPACERS:





AFTER OTG SPACERS: They are more pronouned in-person.





I'm sorry that I don't have better "AFTER" pix of the OTG spacers. I have some profile shots, but that probably wouldn't help you much.

Yup, frogbox has a nice looking xB too. I don't have any pics though.

Here's one I did find. Brian's (dewmerz) xB on TEIN coilovers (1.5-2 inch drop IIRC), on 16x7 +42 Work wheels.

Scott, you're right. They are +40. I was prolly thinking about the title of the thread.

i used to run 16x7's w/+42 offset..the rears were really sunk in and i didnt get the chance to buy OTG spacer shims. i run air suspension and the front tires pretty much sat on the inside of the fender/bumper connection portion in the front fenderwell

thanks for all the help guys...so with the otg rear shims in and a +42 offset...would it be ideal to run another spacer in the rear and in the front for absolute flushness? if so how many more mm in the front and back (keep in mind i got the shims already) thanks again in advanced

In addtion to the 10mm OTG hub spacers, you could run 5mm wheels spacers as well. That will give you about 15mm total. 5mm is the maximum you should run with the stock lug studs though. Any thicker and you should have longer studs installed.

I take it the rims you want are only available in a +42mm offset?
