Deep dish wheels require low offsets, like 20 and lower. Our cars fit offsets in the 50s to mid 30s.

as u can see by this pic, higher offset eliminates lip and increases barrel size. And we typicly use very high offsets. Ur best bet if fender widening or (not my recomeded option) a wide body kit

[mdude4200]

I see, yes I was wondering about that actually because I knew about the offset, well what would you call the previous wheels above? mid dish? what brand are those?
EDIT: also thanks for that picture I've seen those and you pretty much help me understand it.

16x7.5 5x112 35 73.1 1.5"

Every time someone uses the term "deep dish" all I can think of is pizza. Now I'm hungry. Thanks bud.

Those would fit fine except they aren't wide and they are 16". That's gonna look dumb.

As already noted, dish on MKVs is hard due to the offset. closest I found are http://www.raderwerks.com/ MTEN-80 series.



also the Privat Netz http://www.tiredealersites.com/konig...ails&wid=12750


I'm sure their are others.

Im in trouble then 18x9.5 et -1 and 18x10.5 et 21 are my new specs

[bluesixty]

Slight fender roll should handle that -1 offset.........and a 6" lift kit! lol

[Oscar33]

the bagyards got me covered on that 6" lift part

[Sgt_Smoker]

Anybody seen these? Really thinking about getting them.

Konig Rims

[bluesixty]

Don't believe it! It's a trick.

They always have a pic of a wheel with a low offset and lots of dish. Then you get the wheels with the correct offset and the dish disappears!

They are nice wheels though.

A little different than the ebay pic, eh

Now do this w/o air ride and then I'll actually be impressed

[mdude4200]

oh I thought the 16 was like, the height, sorry I'm in no way wheel savy, but yes as bluesixty said I have seen those M80's I love themmm what do you think about them?

[.2.Slow4U.]

uhh 16 is kinda the height.

[mdude4200]

uhh 16 is kinda the height.

okay so what do you think then? would they be alright?

Have you ever seen the rolling shot of oscar tucking wheel in the rear? So sick of this air is cheating BS I drive my car low as crap on 18x10 et 32....

And to the OP go with at least 17's anything smaller is going to look goofy. I think 18's are perfect on our cars but 17s in the right style are hot as hell also.

[KyleCrish]

okay so what do you think then? would they be alright?

no, 16" is the size of the stock steelies, youd have to run balloon tires and it would just look goofy. 17's are the smallest i would ever go, and its still hard to pull them off unless you are slammed.

i never said it was cheating i just give respect where its due.

but i do agree with ur wheel sizes.

[mdude4200]

ahhh hmmm, well lowering really isn't an option at this point so, what other style of wheels you think you would look really nice?

[PatientlyWaiting]

If you aren't going to lower it, go OEM or don't do it at all. IMO of course.

[Runin2Rich4FSi]

see my signature for some deep dish action DPE style!

Thanks




and i agree 18's are the way to go, 17's are harder to pull off but can definitely be hot if done right!

[mdude4200]

okay thanks for all the info.. so as far as lowering, what do you think average cost would be parts and all..

[Zombiestatus]

18s

[ShadowWabbit]

^ easily my fav MKV. from the color to the custom bodywork.

[Residentevol]
