erm :-/ got me there picking them up thursday, just been looking around and well tbh im slightly confused about offset and tyres the look id like to go for is a nice stance do i do this by getting bigger wheels for the rear and smaller ones for the front? i assume not any garage will stretch your wheels either lol. (i'm assuming 7j tho)
