Does anyone have pics of any of these car side by side or maybe nose to nose? I'm just curious as to the stance on these cars from the factory.

Opening of the video shows a good side by side.

Yea, the rear lip is not as deep as yours. As a matter of fact, the rear and front lip is the same as the front lip even though the rears are 9.5's and the fronts are 8.5's. The offsets are perfect for my car though.

It's because they're not bremmas, I'm pretty sure they're ASA ST4's.

They do look a lot like ST4's...but they are marketed as Sport Edition through the Tire Rack. May be made by ASA for the Tire Rack.

one thing to also remember about offset, it isn't just for clearance, but it also has an effect on bearing load, if the offset is off by too much it can put a higher loads on the bearing and can cause it to fail.

I believe Sport Edition and ASA merged or something like that. These are even called ST4's.
