Do you know the offset on the wheels? (I'd like to add 9" and 12" to my '09 C2S and would like to know the offset required for inside clearance?)

Nice wheels, do you have a side profile shot of them on your car?

Default Wheels 'look' like RUF's. Love them!

Kudos on the wheels, would love to see more pictures.

Is there any issue with rubbing when you run a 9" front? What's the right offset?

I am looking at the view of the Norcal backroad and starting to think that what you really wanted is to show off the new car jewlery. It worked.
Great car, crappy scenery. Looks like my buddy's back yard. (meant in humor)

Aye, just an excuse to show off the car really!

Wheel offsets are ET53 front, ET63 rear. I'm using the stock size PS2 tires, 235 and 295, there have been no clearance issues at
all. I plan on using 245/305 for the next set as my personal preference is to have a little less tire stretch than the current fitment has.

Edgy01, I kind of like the dirty look!


Not the best photo, but it's the only side shot I have right now:

Like this pic better. Car and background too. These rims would look killer in black powdercoat. Just my taste, though. Enjoy
