I need some help guys.

I'm looking at some OZ Ultraleggera's but Tirerack only has 2 in stock. I found a guy in Miami who is selling a used set for well below retail but they come in a Subaru STI offset.

18x8 +48 all around

The Genesis stock comes with a 18x7.5 +35 offset front and 18x8 +35 rear. I am wondering how bad would it would with a 18x8 +48 all around? Would it be unsmart to not go staggered? One of the reps from Tire Rack said there's no reason to go staggered really that more wheel in the front will help with grip and that the car stock comes with a lot of understeer.

Anyone have a photo for reference of a Genesis Coupe with anything greater than a +40 offset wheels installed? If I can get an idea of how it would look I might be taking a trip down to Miami this weekend to pick up some wheels.

Besides the fact that +48 offset on a 18X8 wheel would look incredible sunkin in and horrible, I'm not sure that would even clear the struts. For wheels, don't half ass it. They really can make a car depending on offset.

By the way, the OZ Ultraleggera's look alot like the Enkie GTC01. You might wanna check those out because they are sold at many places online and you'll get way better fitment.

18x8 +48 all around

As synnyster already stated, if +48 fits it would be to sucked in. I personally would go for something between +30 and +20.

[CMcCane]

Awww I knew it.... kills my buzz. I was looking at four 18x8 +48 with wheels and tires for about $800.

Sucks they don't fit! I would order the 18x8 +35 ones from tirerack but they only have 2 in stock and I want them before the meet!

Still looking.... GRRR

I also looked at the Enkei RPF1's but I heard they look TINY on the car. Sux!

[snoopy0812]

they would because they have an almost 1inch flange.. and I don't like the way they look anyways, but thats just me.


I'd keep it staggered, thats whats been taking me so long to find rims for my car.. that and I wanna stay at 18"

BLAHHHH I've been looking for weeks now.... I need to get this figured out. What is your guys opinion on Tenzo, Motegi and Konig wheel brands? I found a few I like from them all.

You don't like the Enkei GTC01? Those look pretty nice. The other Enkei's have a stepped lip so they look smaller. Def keep it staggered and have offest from +20 to +25 I say.

Don't rush it...there will be more meets. Better to find the right wheels!
