Cheers that clears that up. What offset and width would suit an sw20. Im looking to buy an sw20 and just want to get an idea of what wheels will fit.

the r32 skyline wheels fit pretty nicely... the offset is wrong but the front to rear balance is pretty good... relatively subtle oversteer...

only thing is you need to get some rings made up to mate the wheels to the hub... cost me about $150 for the rings....

Please by all means spend some dollars and get some wheels with proper offsets and staggered widths.

If you go for something like 17x7 front and 17x8 rear a +35 offset will be fine. BTW keep the profile of the front tyre low otherwise this happens :lol:

18x8 +38 with 40 profile tyres... woops :oops:

Switched to 35 profile and it was sweet.
