Question purchased rims--afraid offset sucks...

I purchased the venaci spirits from status bout 2 months ago

after seeing Kevr6's awesome set up




i told them im only dropping on eibach springs but nonetheless i want an aggressive fitment, flush as possible

they assured me that i would recieve jus that

i looked at the sales order and noticed that they are sending me..

20x9.5 front with a + 20 offset
and a 20x11 rear with a +15 offset


honestly everyone on this forum that has a bad A$$ z with twenties of the same size with has far more aggressive offset's

even KEVR has a +10 in the rear

anyone have the numbers im getting????

is it flush?? im going to be so pissed if i gotta get spacers after spending major $$$ on this package...

I am dropped on Eibach springs with a set of Venaci Mesh on order from STATUS. I ended up ordering the R: 20x11" et 15 F: 20x9.5 et20, and your exact concerns have crossed my mind as well. I should have mine in a few weeks hopefully (the estimated date was this week so I hope it isn't pushed back even more). Hopefully everything sits where I want it to. Just remember that some people are dropped lower than us, run more negative camber, or run stretched tires in order to fit super aggressive offsets. Our setup should be fine, but I guess we just have to wait and see.

it'll be flush..actually it'll poke out a lil bit especially in the front so you may want to dial some neg camber..

Yours will be okay. You can run less negative camber and fit wider tires on there.
