Dont know the offset but they were installed professionally, the tires are 205/40 17's Its wierd, i kept hearing this creaking noise
like if my suspension were really tight or rusty... it sounded like a floorboard creaking it was wierd Im supposed to take my car in to get it checked tomorrow since i have to work 13!!! hours today

The creaking noise maybe your suspension, like maybe a bushing or something. Have you modified your suspension yet?

Figured it out... the weight of my stereo is making my back tire rub on right turns... combined with the weight of the driver..
It gets lowered wednesday and hes going to pound out the insides of my wheel wells  once it gets lowered ill find a digi cam and post some pics... i just need a hot chick to pose on my hood so i can feel part of the in crowd!

Yes i did, and it worked fine.. just gotta be gentle with it.. well as far as sledgehammers go as being gentle..
No exterior damage, and its clean bends.. and it beats the $5000.00 the body shop wanted for custom fenders
