If DPE guarantees fitment, I'd be ok with that.....

Default what are you talking about? Maybe I should have said, "if one buys rims that...
cost almost $1000/each, he/she should be told the offset"...

Is that better?

I'm not ranting about anything. I'm not buying rims, it's just the point that none of this stuff is secret once someone buys a set and measures it.

Default that's the point, they gaurantee fitment with certain rubber only? What a joke...
change to different tires and the set-up won't work?

Makes no sense.

But, neither does running 20" rims IMO.

Agree. Guys buying 20" wheels have to realize they are pushing the limits, no?
