i tried some +35 wheels but the balance weights were hitting the strut, the +30 ( i think they are ) fit fine like the stockos though a little further in than i'd like

DO NOT USE A NARROWER OFFSET THAN STANDARD AS U WILL NOT BE COVERED BY INSURANCE!

and that includes 3rd party injury thats part of ur rego..

its a major no no according to traffic authorities in every state, as it alters (for the worse) the handling characteristics of the car, as it alters scrub radius etc... it also looks like absolute SHITE having narrow offset wheels marooned inside those deep arches.

Starion standard offset is +18MM not +20MM. u can run anywhere between 18mm and 10mm easily if u keep width to 9 inches at the rear and 8 inches at the front.

there really is no excuse for running the wrong wheels these days, we're comparitively spoiled for choice compared to a few short years ago..

i went to a wheel place and was told there are two offsets one is 18+ for early starions and then theres 20+ for later starions
just my two cents worth

I've got 19x10s at the rear +12 and 19x8.5s up front +12.

Needed a little lip and a pump, but I'm going really low.....

i am just going by what the guy said and he got that referance from his little book behind the desk at which that time he also told me that if i could be stuff bmw have rims in 20+ offset also but, it on the M 5 (hot looking wheels ) but again a stud conv is needed
