These are a good looking wheel .
Can i ask a dumb question tho ......

if i replace my 8" rims with 9" rims , where does the new wheel sit , in the same place on the outer rim , the inner rim or does the extra inch get split by half an inch each side of the wheel ??
For instance , on my car at the back ive an et 28 8x 17" , ive several inches of extra clearnace on the Outer side (not much on the inner )so i can use a 9x17 with the same tyres ( thats the wheel size they come off normally before you ask ) , to take up as much outer room as possible should i change the offset by an inch or is this not neccessary ?? Trial and error on this is not an option due to the cost of the wheels , i really want to get it right first time , heres a pic to show what i mean .
Thanks
