So, what's a good offset for our cars? I'm going rim shopping again but want it flush instead of in a little.

Measure the distance (in mm) you want the new rim to stick out to. Then, go to this website:

wheel offset calculator

You will still need to check your turning and brake clearances. Hope it helps.

WTF, sorry for hijacking your thread, but I have a question for you. When you were describing the Tein springs, you said something like "they feel like stock." By this do you mean that they are as soft and you still get the same amount of nose dive when braking, the same amount of up and down movement when shifting and the same body roll in corners? Or did you mean that those things are improved, but the comfort is as good as stock? I couldn't tell if your statement was critisism or praise. Thanks.

RIght on, they are as soft as stock and get the same amount of nose dive, but now you're closer to the ground...so speed bumps suck, you gotta go hella slow...
Body roll is a biatch too, it's pretty much the same as stock.. Handling hardly improved at all. I wouldn't recommend the springs unless you were all show. The only thing at improved was the looks...
