Thanks for the assurance. I just did not get what you mean by using longer studs and a 10 mm spacer to correct the offset. When I compared the 14" OE stock steel rim of the 240 with the minilites, the offset of the minilites is about an inch taller/higher compared with the steel rim. I assume that since the minilite has a "taller" offset, the wheels will tend to come out of the fenders.

Should this happen, I might even consider having the wheels machined to remove 10 mm. and finish off with the 20 mm offset.

Is my line of thinking correct or otherwise?
