can someone PLEASE confirm the offset of the OEM wheel?

in my research for aftermarket wheels i've been generally looking at offset range +35 up to +45. If the offset is a bit lower than +35 i figure i can always do a bit of fender rolling or max out camber.

those xxr's are like 23+ lbs, right? what tire size do you plan using? if you're worried about clearance, maybe you could stretch a 215/45 over that. 205 i think would not work...

from my research for decent tires if you're concerned about keeping the overall weight of the wheel/tire down, CONTI DW in 215/45 is 20 lbs, and also Falken Ziex 512. BFG g-force sport (on the lower end of performance) is 21 lbs, and so are some of the Toyo's in the 21 lbs and change range.

If you have to run 225/45, CONTI DW is still 20 lbs, and CONTI DWS is 21 lbs.

basically if the total weight is under 45 lbs you'd be lighter than OEM (if you care).
