Vez couldn't be more on regardin' the offset mk.
A case'a I should'a known better:
Salesman (That should'a put up red flags from the get-go) at EWheels swears to me that these neat lookin' 5Zigens fit my Stewie no problem. Me, I'm askin' about the difference in offset n' he's pattin' my head, tellin' me what I wanna hear, knowin' that I'm in lust for these slick lookin' 5 spokers.
Get this: they actually claim that the wheels stickin' out from under the car is "a more agressive stance". Them stickin' out reminded me of a '53 Ford pickup with the doors open.
The offset on the fronts were close enough for government work. I use 'em with my summer rubber. The rears were stickin' out n' durin' any serious cornerin' r' less than perfect road surface were remindin' me of my old physics lessons: Impenitrability: no two objects can occupy the same space at the same time.
N' believe me mk, when you're getin' to an area that you know is gonna make the wheels contact the hard parts, you pucker up like it's you that the tires r' gonna be rubbin' on. Tell me I'm lyin'.
So the rears r' currently holdin' up a killer Suzuki engine in the garage.
The numbers don't lie. The offset that Stewie requires is only available on few wheels. Stay realistic when you're shoppin' for 'em n' don't let your desire go into high-lust . . well, unless you've got a killer Suzuki engine out in the garage in need of a stand.
Be well, n' like the ol' knight said . . . .
