Offset

Ok basically I am too lazy to jack my car up and pull of the wheels to get the Cer # so I thought I would ask.....

Offset for an E55?

Currently I am running 20x9 Front and 20x10 rear... the wheels fit absolutly perfect!!!! The wheels line up with the top of the wheel well giving it a nice aggressive look... any one know what I would be looking for when shopping for the next set?

Here is what Im looking for:

Can you peek behind the wheel without pulling them off? I would really like to know your wheel specs... In my Lorinsers the wheel specs are printed inside. They can be read without removing the wheel using a flashlight and a small mirror. Or without mirror, if you car read the text from a distance, from the other side of the car.

GREAT! Thanks a lot Bulldog, really helped me out there.

So a 19" wheel with a 39mm offset shouldn't be too much of a problem I'm assuming...

Thanks again
Greg
