ET should be stamped into the wheels. Take a gander next time you have one off! Lovin the car. Those wheels, wing, and lip are killer. Maybe you should paint the caps for the bolts on the wing black?? Even just plasti dip them...

Thank you. I would assume the offset is around 45. I'm trying to figure out what wheels n tires I want. I'm only lowered 1.2 front and 1.0 rear

How is the ride with the tires? Pretty bumpy? Do you haul any kind of weight? Like 4-5 people? Do you rub then? Ant info is great thank you.

like i said the ride is great on s-drives but only thing negative(?) that i noticed was the tire noise.... with stock rims you have tons of clearing room whether you go for springs or coils.... but with after mkt rims it all depends... I did rub a little on the rear after installing rims so i pulled the fenders and never rubbed the rear since but when i went on really bumpy roads i rubbed the fronts... to minimize rubbing i ordered 195 instead of 205.
i rarely have 3 to 5 ppl in my car but when i do.... i don't care about rubbing but my fit doesn't seem to accelerate!!!! i used to have 15mm hubcentric spacers on the rears when i had the stock rims and yes i had quite a rubbing back then....

Thank you! I always have some kind of weight in my car. So 16" may the way to go for me
