how much did you torque the spacers down? I had spacers w/ extended studs on my last car and overtorqued the spacer lugs

The shop where I bought them from installed them for free, so I'm not sure what they torqued them down to. Did you strip your lugs?

that's how they should have come from factory! why do they always make factory wheels sunken in lol.

That's the same question I have too. But I'm sure there's some long, technical engineering explanation as to why the offsets are higher on OEM wheels.

Cost is also a pretty big factor I bet. Why would any manufacturer spend more money on lower offset wheels when the majority of their customers have no clue what offsets are, and could care less about wheel fitment? Only enthusiasts like us actually care about that.

looks really good, just what the stock rims needed.

looks like you could use a bit more camber in the front though

Thanks! I'd rather not add any more camber than what I already have. I'd rather not waste my stock tires. Once I get some new wheels, then I'll play around with camber

Would it really cost more to make the wheels in a lower offset though? These are a brand new wheel design, so either way they had to create a whole new cast.

I'm not sure, but I'm sure there's a reason why most manufacturers don't make better fitting wheels lol
