What is the off-set of these wheels?

Do you have a link for me?

PS. you can fit quite a bit more tire/wheel under your car if you like!

That is a VERY pricy wheel, so you must REALLY like them! With the correct off-set and tire size, you can run a 9.5" (f) & 11" (r) on your S197.

If I had to guess, I would say the "Race" version is much lighter and probably not DOT approved with not as nice a finish (ONLY speculating on both those thoughts) You are gonna want about +50mm off-set for the fronts and a 255/45/18" is what the GT500 runs on this width. I am not sure about the rears, but take a look in the customer rides thread and near the last page is someone with 11" out back, I believe.

What are your needs in grip?

Be advised of a couple things, with that wheel combo. This will help to create some understeer on your car. If you want to go fast aroun corners, running staggered, and a full 2" narrower in front at that, your car will lose some of its "balance" and more likely to understeer on the corners.

When I said "What are your needs in grip?" I was referring to lateral or off-the-line type grip?
