Do you know what the actual offset of the rims are fronts and rears ?

i thought they only had smart ass guys like that on club lexus ! actually i had just sold my 22's off my car and was in the market for new 22's ! but dont worry i spent my money on some new staggered 22x9 +42mm offset for the front and 22x11 +50 offset ! pretty good for a tire kicker whose on his 5th set of rims in 7 months ! YOUR NOT A GOOD SALES PERSON !!! good luck on the sale !:smiley-rofl: A SIMPLE MATURE QUESTION = A DUMBASS ANSWER 99% OF THE TIME !!!
Hey HEY HEY!!!!!! play nice!:thelaw:

If you were asking just for the sake of asking (or comparing to your new 22s), you, sir, are a tire kicker. These are not off the shelf wheels, they were custom built. I spent a great deal of time figuring out and refining the look of this car, and the wheel widths and offsets are a major component of why my car looks the way it does. If you want to emulate that look with your SuperDub 22s, right on. I would recommend a set of four wheel spacers. Big ones. By the way, it's "you're," not 'your.' Who's the dumbass? Troll...
1 Post? How did you get to post in here with only 1 post so far? I thought they had restrictions for new people to stay in the VIP101 pen? Nevermind, guess they let new folks reply in these sections too.

If someone is serious about buying them, I will tell them.[/QUOTE] Honestly, it shouldn't take that much work in finding out the right size and offset for a car if you have another wheel hanging around to measure from. What we usually do is slap a rim on (same diameter of what we want, but narrower and with more offset). Then you have 3 SIMPLE things to do: 1. Measure distance from inner rim lip (most outter edge) to the shock (and control arm depending on cars) 2. Measure distance from outter rim lip (most outter edge) to the fender lip 3. With the 2 data above and the mounted rim's dimension, just calculate the max width and offset. Hardest part is just doing the math on paper which is 100% algebra. When we do this, it always comes out perfect with no spacers involved, in one try. I understand you don't want people to know your offset so that they won't "cramp" your style/fitment, but that's not giving into the community. Besides, if you have your rims specs completely stated, it would make your sale alot easier.
Sure, I know how to measure a car for wheels - I've been doing it for the last 10 years as a career. If a person isn't interested in buying them, what goddamn difference does it make what MY offsets are? The only reason they would ask is to try and duplicate it. If they are serious about buying them, I don't really have a problem with it as that information would allow them to get an idea of how the wheels would look relative to their current set-up. Keep in mind, the rears are 11.5" and there is about a 5mm window - "in" too far and they hit the inner body - "out" too far and they hit the fender. Also, when building a wheel from scratch there are pad heights & lips to juxtapose for maximum lip and adequate brake clearance - these accept big brakes front & rear, by the way. I suppose I should post-up the CAD drawings for the wheel design, too? Then other manufacturers can copy my designs AND my fitments. Great. If you guys are going to be all up in my Kool Aid about it, fine, I'll keep 'em!
So, these are designed solely for a Lexus? Won't fit anything else?
are you from club lexus ? anyways when i sold my 22's i was looking for another set of 2-3 piece 20's and the other person i hit up on craiglist sold there 3-piece 20's ! so i looked at your 20's and thought those are nice ! so i wanted to see what offset they was cause im going to lower my car more and tuck the next set of wheels i put on it ! so that was the reason i wanted to know the offsets of your wheels ! i wouldnt need to copy your offsets being that i sold over 100 + set of wheels in the past 15 years (i've owned 2 car accessory shop in vegas in the past 15 years) of yeah it was New Trenz Audio & Accessories and Auto Trenz ! and calling someone a Tire Kicker who's asking about specs on an item that you have for sale is a dumb/smartazz answer ! and BOOSTY im glad you think thats a mature answer to a mature question ! that just shows something about you ! get off his nutz ! :smiley-rofl: did it really matter how many post i have to inquire about buying some wheels ?? and oh yeah for your knowledge of backspacing a 20x11.5 +60 mm offset would yield a 8.65" back spacing and 3.85" front spacing and thats not out of some rim booklet ! simple as this 20x11.5 rim is 12.5" wide overall 12.5x25mm=312.5mm divide 312.5 in half 156.25 mm +60mm offset=216.25 divided by 25mm=8.65" backspacing !! dont worry that was a freebie !:pat:

[QUOTE=MenaceKustoms;206662]So, these are designed solely for a Lexus? Won't fit anything else?[/QUOTE] They are drilled hub-specific for Lexus/Toyota vehicles with a 60.1mm hub bore (hub centric). They could be made to fit other cars if the center bore was opened-up, i.e. Nissan/Infiniti is 66.1, so the tires would have to be removed so the wheels could go back in the mill so the center bores could be opened-up.
rolling shot on the lexus is so nice ...............
