Okay, i'm ordering the GT-C rims as soon as i figure out a couple things. First off this may sound dumb but what the heck is the difference between the high type, mid type, and low type? I'm getting 18x9 front and 18x10 rear. Second, i have to give them my offset and my desired rim depth. which totally blew me out the water. So if anybody wants to learns me on what the heck i can do about this, please do so. thanks

The high mid and low type refers to brake caliper clearance I believe. Offset should *probably* be around 40-50 front and rear.



The wheel place should be able to tell you what will fit. You shouldn't have to guess

Assuming you have an FD, it shouldn't really matter first of all which type (high, low, mid) you choose since there really shouldn't be a difference for the stock calipers. They are small enough to fit any type of wheel above 16 inches in diameter I believe. Secondly, your offsets should be 50+ for the rear, and a 42 for the front perhaps. Notice, depending (or not) on what kind of tire size you go for, you will probably have to roll your rear fenders.



BTW, as 93 R1 pointed out, if the place you're ordering your GT-C's from doesn't tell you everything you need to know (i.e. everything you asked for here) then save yourself some time and money by NOT ordering from them.





Good Luck https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
