OH!!! thanx man. How do I look for rims like that on the web? just say +12 off set? any particular brand?
well first thing you have to do is get the lug pattern right when searching for rims. you need a bolt pattern of 6 on 5.5 - (139.7mm) once you find that then look for offset and backspacing. Any offset should work as long as it is not less than stock which I think is -35 or -38. Backspacing is the distance from the back edge of the rim to the lug plate, the higher the offset, the more backspacing you will have I think I have 5.5" of backspace which is close to stock. The reason my offset is more but the backspace is similiar to stock is because my rim is wider than stock, which keeps the backspace distance similiar.
Last thing you need to do is make sure the rim has a large bore (bigger hole in the center of the rim for the hub) Some 16" rims will not clear the H3 brake calipers because they are a big caliper, thats why I went to 17's so that it would clear with room to spare.
