^ ya they should mount. it has lug patterns for 5x112 AND 5x100. offset is at +35 though forthe wheels... i'd get a set of spacers if you're trynna go for that flush staggered look... in which you are.

i'd suggest 12mm front and 20mm rear spacers with that rim offset, for looks. I love polished lip rims. What color car would they be going on?

you sure about your 12 and 20?

if you use the wheel spacer calc its showing 19 front and 13 rear for the flushed look.

i have a silver one.
kinda hard to dress it up as not to many colors go with it.
so farr i have the engine cover red, along with the batt cover and antifreeze cover. and the vacuum lines too but they're covered.
thinking of chroming the intake and pipes or going with yellow.
inputs are highly taken into consideration

ya achttung, you have to incorporate the width of the rear tire. so you're going to need wider spacers in the front~

you see 19 or 13mm spacers often? I dont. i also don't see a 1mm difference w/o a measuring tool. : )

H&R lists a 12.5mm, mine are 12mm's, eehhh, close enough... i have the same rim offset, and 12 and 20 look damn good, but yes, i'm 1mm inside up front, and 1mm outside in the rear.

^^ so I said 19 up front and 13 in the rear.. so lets change that to 20 up front and 12.5 in the rear.

i'm not so sure i trust the wheel calc though.

huh? now you guys lost me.
so i need 12 up front and 20 in the rear for that staggerd look and just reverse the offsets to get the flush look?
but staggered would look good though, right?
any thing i need to be aware of breaking?
