wheels have nothin' to do w/ your struts except for the offset on the wheel determining if you hit your strut, other than that it doesnt matter. what does matter is what spring/coil your going to be usin' w/ what strut

I agree with, uh, that person ^^. I'm an aprentice technician so trust me, the only thing you need to worry about is the backspacing, too much and you hit the struts, too little and you rub the fender

correct, the higher the offset, the closer in it gets and the lower the offset the farther out it goes. typically anything from a 38-45 will be good. ive seen some run 35 and im even running a 48 right now
