Help me choose offset.

[Moultese]

I'm pretty much settled on these wheels. I wan't something that's going to fill up the fender nicely and I don't mind rolling them to make the rims fit.
What kind of offset do I need? 45? 37? 25??!?!

Stock offset is +52.5mm. 45 is about as low as you can go. What tires are you considering?

 

[Moultese]

I dunno about tires yet. Why is 45 about as low as I can go? Rubbing issues on the outside?

225/40/18 Nitto tire and Tenzo dc5 18x8 wheel with 45 offset on Cobb springs and I am ok. Cool picture Moultese!

Thanks. Yeah, I really just want a nice stance (i.e. nice drop) on those wheels and I think my car will be set.

Here's an offset calculator. You don't want to stray too far from stock.

18x8 +45...you are golden my friend. Depending on your drop, you shouldn't need to roll your fenders.

I am getting a 18x8.5 +43...I will be rollin my fenders! haha.

TRS3, what size tire are you running on 8.5s. going wiiide I guess. I was wondering about rear fender rolling myself, doing it yourself or a shop?

 

[stars.eg6]

i have +40's and they fit flush with the fenders.

 

[Moultese]

Yeah, I'm looking for about as flush as possible. I don't mind if they even stick out a bit. Thanks for the info. **** 45. I'm going 37
