Message	guys, i searched and searched(maybe not hard enough) and i still can't find the right offset of wheels for the fronts. i have a skyline brake kit and my 17s with +32mm fit with no problem. however, i recently got some 18s which forgot to make a note of the offset and they are slammed against the calipers. for all ya with 18s and big brake upgrade, what offset are you running? will 18s with +32mm like my 17s fit? help me out pls.
