I just searched the forums and my dumbass forgot to right down what sizes and offsets people were running in these wheels. For those who have them if they could chime in that would be great. I would like to be able to get atleast a 275 on the rear and 245 on front if I can.

Thanks in advance.

I have the 19" x 8" 40mm in front and the 19" x 9" 52mm in rear.

The 9" wheels are very hard to get, can't get new last I heard :( So used market is the only choice.

The 18" are the same offsets, and earlier versions of the 9" came with 50mm offset. They "work" but limit your tire choices and/or your alignment has to be "good" (not many at all are "perfect" from the factory) or one side may rub...If your alignment (rear cradle) is really far out to one side you may still rub anyways on one side.

According to Jeff at Group A, these are just out of stock, not discontinued. He is expecting more stock in Jan/Feb 07.

Yeah I just read that today, 8-10 weeks....

That's why I said "last I heard" which was months ago, that they would only build them if someone (like group A) bought alot of them to do a run of them.

I have the GTO/monaro/holden specific ones and they are 52mm offset on the rear.

They do make them for BMW's which is I guess what you bought... that didn't rub on the fender lip at all???:confused:

Thanks....I love them. I just hope that they continue to make them (in limited quantities:D ) so if I rash one there is a replacement.

They must be 52mm then since I have no rubbing issues. Bolted them on and went. I got them from Gravana this spring who shipped them from Group A....
