White Rims on Celi w/ offset quesiton w/ picture Options

[gabyz]

so I bought these white beauties to be put on my white Celi and waiting for them to get to me...yes i know..I am in the minority of Celi fans that like white on white...but to be fair..I only like white rims as long as they have a polished lip/deepdish look on them (plain white is ugly IMO)...

so my Question is this..the factory rims for the Celi I have are the standard 15 x 7 with offset 45 imprinted on the rim...these white ones are 17 x 7 so the dimensions are not a problem, but the offset is 40... If i want to get the same offset as the factory ones..all i have to do is buy 5mm spacers right?

btw..i plan on removing the namebrand sticker on the rim

your reading the offsets wrong, the higher the number the more tucked in they become, so theoretically the new ones will stick out 5mm more than stock, and thus it is impossible and also unlikely that you would want horrible 45 offset.

thanks..lol...i think I finally understand it. hopefully 40 will look much better than the stock 45
