OK, I took your advice and went to the seller's house to try the wheels on for size.

The good news is that they fit in every respect, EXCEPT offset. The wheels have an offset of -35 (as in negative 35). That's like a 70mm difference, right?

Indeed the back wheels are really tucked inside the fenders. The fronts don't show much at all.

I know there's been a raging debate about spacers -- as yet unresolved -- but is there any problem/danger running these wheels with such a big offset difference?

Even 20mm spacers would hardly get me close.

The price was so good, I may just keep all four as "fronts" and buy a matching set of rear wheels/blizzaks that fit better.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks!
