What's funny is to start this tread you would've had to clicked only inches away from the thread this is called "The Will It Fit Thread".... and you could've just asked in there

Never a winner eh? Why don't you tell that to Nick Hamm who just won at Laguna Seca two weeks ago with a staggered setup on his 8.

I'm sure his budget allows him to do so.

I'm glad you asked about this set-up, Renesis Genesis. I've searched for hours and this one stop helped me out. I'm looking at the exact same ones. Did you get the wheels yet?

FYI- those offsets are much higher than need be; you could go down 10mm all around all still not have to roll fenders with 265's

^Thanks! I was looking at the offsets and thought they were a little more than what was necessary.
