looking at getting an 8' wide wheel, though the website is sayin a 40mm offset, is that right? still tryin to figure out these damn offset q's... if that is right, the price sure as hell is so i could be sportin some KONIG UNKNOWNS (they just look so sick!) by summer.... any help is deffinatly apreciated... thanks

With a 40offset those rims will be sticking out past the fender. The ideal offset is 48 - 50. I have 45 with 17X7.5 running 225's and a Progress drop and I get slight rubbing on the outer fender. If I would have got a 48offset I'd be good.
 
yeah i saw the stock offset was 52.5.... but according to the site the 8's with a 40mm are what it recomends for my car... those lyin sob's.... oh well will have to keep looking for that sweet 48mm
