    Wheel Offset question

    i found some 13" wheels for cheap but i never really knew much about the offsets of wheels. i know theyll stick out more and i dont think they'll rub, the thing im most worried about is if my lugs will hold up to them.

    they look like this
    it'll do the 1/8 in 13.7, spin tires, and make all my drunk buddies giggle.

    Use studs. Then you'll have no worries.

                    Yep, put some thread lock on them and screw them in.
