I'm dropped on Tein S-Techs and I actually spaced the rears out a little more with a 3mm spacer. They were 20x10.5 +42 before and now they're at a +39. You do have to trim the liner and the bracket like Blackjack did on his write up cause if not u will rub. I love the flush look though.
The lip sizes are as follows:
2" front
4" rear (they seem a little deeper though maybe 4.5"?)

It's not much of a "secret", (read the thread carefully) just a higher offset# that essentially pushes the rim/tire combo in towards the center of the car. I've suspected all along that there was plenty of room on the inside of the wheel well area to accommodate a larger rear set-up. There should be more wheel manufactures making a 10.5" rim in this offset for our cars! Why in the fuck don't more wheels have this offset for our cars? I would love to have 305's but it isn't happening with the offsets on the Volks that I have. I kinda feel cheated!

I have yet to buy wheels for Her car but I've been doing some researching. It absolutely amazes me how so many people can spend so much money on rims and have no idea what there offset is. There seems to be plenty of room under there and everyones pushing the outside limit for some reason. I guess just for more lip.

I think tread pattern plays a key role in the appearance of having wide tires. I find that the treads that have wider patterns in them - such as Toyo T1R's or Vredesteins appear wider than those with smaller sectional patters such as Potenzas regarless of their true measured width.
