That's true, I thought I was the only one who thought angled/super flush was uber retarded.

my wheels are sunken up front, only 9" +27 and they clear with the low disk. i got the guy who bought my wheels to ask Work for me before i bought them just to make sure!

but Ordens are more concave so maybe you will need the standard disk for those

why run spacers when you can order them correctly in the first place?

I think he is wishing he can get the low disk instead of the medium/high disk so he can have more lip on the front rims. Generally, the low disk has a deeper lip than the mid/high disk no matter what the offset is. So, in order to clear his brake calipers, they are saying the rim style he wants require the medium or standard disk. If I'm guessing correctly, he wants the deeper lip, so ordering a higher offset in the low disk will allow him to use a spacer to clear the caliper and still have that deep lip. But, I could be wrong

yess and highering the offset and using spacers will still put the rims at where i want them to be...

and i meant if its noticeable on a stepped lip from standard to low disk...
