    I would do 30mm offset, are you lowered?

    if you are, you will have to roll the rears flat, fronts a half roll.

    well Fu#@.. i placed and order again with another company and they called to tell me that they were out of the Rota's... they only had the +20mm offset in stock(thats def not going to work)... looked around at other places and they dont have the ones i need....now i am back to f-ing square one aaaagain!!!

    Update:

    well just got off the phone with a company out in CA that deals directly with Rota and they said that they only have the 18x8.5 +25mm in stock and only in gold(yuck)...they guy was like thats only 5mm more then what you ordered lol i said ya thats not a big difference ahaha.. right... anyway told them to look at the 18x8's and didnt have them in stock either, what the hell is up with these companies that dont update their damn inventory online!!!... so he told me that they should be getting a shipment in within the next week or two and would call me with an update!

    what do you guys think about these?

    Tenzo DC-6 18x8" +35



    Also i just got of the phone with some one who has some Tenzo Tracers 18x7.5" +42... you think those would work if i used a ~5-8mm spacer... i am almost over this whole damn CTS-V set-up!! lol

    ok so what is the verdict? should i get the Tenzo 18x7.5" +42mm and run a spacer.. or get the Tenzo DC-6 18x8" +35mm?.. i am just about out of options at this point so it is down to those two wheels

    there are nothing wrong with chrome lugs on black rims, they will accent the silver calipers as well.

    id get the lugs to match whatever color theme youre going with, since your calipers are silver.
