they are +38 offset..just checked.

no rubs at all not even close....i just bolted them up nothing special you will be fine with 42 offset will just sit in a little more for you
 


im guessing you have either a gt or gtp...cause on an se the rims appear to stick out farther when they really dont
 
Well here's a pic of my ride on thoese gay ass snowflakes

She's a 2001 GT (on stock springs apparently o.O must be something broken somewhere)
 


nice ride looks similar to mine....those rims would look nice on that car

are you looking to have your rims/tires stick out a little bit like mine
 
i'd love to have a lil poke

would look real nice once i get the money to lower the car farther i wanna be 1-2'' lower than how it sits there

well if you lower your car you may run into problems if you go with a lower offset like i have....Im not a fan of lowering your car because it makes your cars suspension wear out faster

^Is a very good read

And I have been talking to fellow site members about what my plans are (Not to go super low where I could just bag it)
Just looking for an extra little bit of stance

I've got everything pretty well looked after
 
What are you looking to run with the suspension?

And you won't have poke with a +42 offset. I had 7.5"+12 in the back and they weren't poking, now I'm running a 8.25"+25 wheel and it sits out a little more, nice and flush in the back and they stick out a little up front, time to run a little more camber in the front.

Keep in mind if you do go low with some decent offset you will have to do some work to the fenders to keep from rubbing. That +42 offset will not give you any rubbing issues ever.
