> [@LKSwhy?](#): > > So the wheels don’t actually have to be low offset… they just have to fit flush? :confused low offset is relative to a car, a low offset s2000 will run in the high 30s low 40s offset, where as other cars your not getting low untill you hit the single digits. thats why i put it in terms of flush, if your wheels are flush or poking, then they are low offset for your vehicle. its a good judge of fit, obv what is low on one car isn’t gonna be low on another car. also, spacers are cheating. ---

if you want low offset, swifts sportmax 002’s (or whatever they are called now) only come in ET 0. but they will mexi-poke on most of the cars they end up on without fender pulling. ---

The 002s come in +15 as well… most people that buy them have no idea what they are doing like you said and end up with the “mexi poke” :lol ---

BTW… The proper term should be “aggressive” since width and offset are all relative to the car… Most of those bmw’s on the 1st page don’t qualify IMO… ---
