those wheels are SSR professors 18x9.5 +12
18 = rim diameter
9.5 = rim width
+12 offset means; if you were to cut the rim in half the distance from the exact middle of the rim to where the bolts are is 12mm
if you dont really understand it, just google "wheel offset" and you will find something :)

as a general rule, on dished rims the lower the offset, the deeper the dish.

thanks guy :) i would use google but ill have to read through so much bs to get to the info i want, but if i just ask it here i get the answer straight away :)

Yeah i agree. when i first started modding most people were advising not to go lower than +45 which is too conservative and looks crap. Anyhoo i'm now loving 8.5" +30 at the front and considering going 9.5" + 32 at the rear.

Btw your fitment is insane!

It's all about opening your mind haha, you just need to broaden your view on fitment and you can fit anything :D


When I started modding everyone told me 18x7.5 +42 was perfect for a 2000 Accord, now I'm running 18x8 +37 which is quite more aggressive but its sunk as anything and I'll be going far wider for flush fitment.

9.5 on a Euro is no longer a NO-GO and its becoming more common, that being said many are still reluctant to run lower than +30, on the flipside dudes in the US are rocking 9.5 +15 GTR fitment on their Euro's.

Australia needs to step its game up! crappy roads are no excuse as US roads are worse.

Interesting,

ISC seem to still have them under CST.

I have sent them a inquiry about them see what they respond.

ahh fair enuf :D

Yep CST was bought out by MB Wheels and then MB renamed the Hyper 1 - MB Battle.

From what I know, you can still find some of the CST's in the US with all the different offsets like +23 and +27 and are sold as CST's as they're old stock. MB Battles now only come in certain offsets. +15, +22 off top of my head... So if you're buying new models of the wheel it'll be an MB Battle with the specific offsets they make now.

no doubt they'll look great on a euro. good to see more people going the aggressive fitment route! :)

is there a website that anyone would recommond for wheels?
i look at rota aust n thats it
