54mm= 2 1/8th " lip
104mm=4" lip

So you WERE able to order different offsets huh? Those offsets are better than what you were going to get! for reals....post some pics....

the fronts are about 2 3/16 i'd say and the rears are 4.25" from what the tape measure says.The offsets are including 5mm spacers that are going to be used front and back.I eneded up with the black centers due to the silvers or satin color not being available in a 10.5" set-up.I was going to pick up a set of general exclaim uhp tires for almost $250 cheaper but I think the fk452's will make me happier.I have them sitting in the boxes still, so no actual pics.I can show what they look like though.They are really nice in the quality dept. and the weight of them is so nice.The picture does them no justice.I will be changing th ecentercap to a different ssr cap available asap.
