I won't ever buy wheels unless they offer a square fitment in whatever by 10"

Could you not just buy all 10" wheels as singles? Or is the offset for the 10" wheels offered not good for the front at all?

Most of the offsets offered on the 10" wheels are " " that much too deep to fit on the front. A 40-43 ET is preferred, and most of the rear 10" options are 45. I don't know if there will be issues or not, but would rather not find out the hard way.

Yeah a rear 10 inch should be 42 at minimum but 45 if you want to run a larger width 295 such as a Pilot Super Sport. I found this out the hard way too! I even responded to AM on Instagram. Dude talking about they run 8.5 so it can be a direct factory replacement so the buyer won't have to buy new tires. That's the dumbest business model I've ever heard off. I said Forgestars aren't selling out because they look so much better or have such high quality. Its because their offsets are simply perfect!

I guess they make more off the broke teenagers that just want the look without having to dump more money on tires than the real enthusiasts.

It's not just broke teenagers. There are several guys around here who bought these cars but can't really afford to mod them with anything other than cheap catalog stuff from places like American Muscle. That's why you see so many of these cars with the same mods done over and over again. Seems to be very little creativity happening now which is a shame.

Exactly why I still rock the Brembo wheels. LOL. The wheels I want I can't afford. I will go through another round of tires before I can afford them still.

Don't get me wrong, it's cool that kids much younger than I can afford to get these cars in the first place, but they don't have an idea about what it truly costs to keep them yet. And that's why so many end up for sale. They can't afford decent tires, but they still complain about traction....they simply buy the biggest drop spring they can find, and blow the factory struts, and complain about the horrible ride. Bullocks.
