Actually I was going to but I decided to put the money towards a whipple, the new wheels are going to have to wait.

It's also going to matter if you have the stock brakes, or if you've changed to a big brake kit. If you plan on getting a big brake kit, you'd better find out their dimensions first!

I am running razors with a 24 and 40 mm offset staggered. Click signature for pictures.
Very interesting. I presume 24 offset in the back and 40 offset in the front? If youhad to do it over would you get the same staggered setup?
Absolutely, I think it looks great. Rear tires are out just a little with a little deeper lip, front tuck in nice and smooth. Gives it a little old school look and I love it.

You know I didn't think of that... so the lip on 24 offset is deeper... more like my "deep dish bullits" that I have now. Interesting. I'm just guessing but the difference is 16mm, correct? (40-24).

Love to see more pictures.

After I posted that I went outside to check, but I guess it's playing with my eyes. I measured front/back and they both have a 2 1/4 inch lip. I guess I always thought the back was deeper, it must be because its just sticking out.

As soon as my wife gets back in town with the camera, I will take some more pictures.

You really have me tempted to try a staggered offset setup. I was counting on the option of rotating my tires, but maybe not. Ahhhh the joys of never making up your mind!!

thats why I went with 20x10s front and rear so I could rotate...
