Ryan, actually yours is Low/Low. I'm guessing Robert's setup will be similar in profile.

I still don't see how the offset effects it.

Low offset is deeper shape
High offset is flat

With 370Z/350Z/GTR because Nissan designed the cars with a lot of brake clearance, you are able to run a low offset wheel. On cars like the new Audi/VW/Lamborghini/Ferrari, they do not allow for Low offset specs, will require a Medium or High offset profiles. Which makes the wheels flat in shape.

You can read more about offset here.

Gotcha. As we get closer to a "0" offset we're pushing the wheel outward which make it a "deeper" look/conical. Wonder why I was suggest those original offsets then of +32/+34?
