    So im intersted in a new set of wheels for the comp g. I really like the look of the black Saleen replicas. I found a set with tires and am curious about the offset. The wheels are an 18x9 offset is 24. Tires are 245/40/18. Will these stick out too far or not work at all? Thankyou in advance.

    +24 offset will stick out pretty far and you'll need some decent amount of camber to run them.

    So tell me about offset. Another set just like it is a +30. To me that would be worse but then i hear people running them and they look good.

    no one said you couldnt run them, but it's going to take some fender work, some alignment settings that are not typical, and potentially smaller tires.

    either way, for someone that doesnt know what they are doing i do not recommend big wheel setups since they take a lot of work to make work.

    Thankyou all for the advice! I love the look of the above cars too. So on the vehicle with the plus 30's what mods did you have to do to make that work?

    Since he is lowered, I believe he has to or if not already rolled the rear fenders. On a stock set of springs they will be just fine.
