So, what's a good offset for our cars? I'm going rim shopping again but want it flush instead of in a little.

Higher offset more "in" they are.

Measure the distance (in mm) you want the new rim to stick out to. Then, go to this website:

wheel offset calculator

You will still need to check your turning and brake clearances. Hope it helps.

WTF, sorry for hijacking your thread, but I have a question for you. When you were describing the Tein springs, you said something like "they feel like stock." By this do you mean that they are as soft and you still get the same amount of nose dive when braking, the same amount of up and down movement when shifting and the same body roll in corners? Or did you mean that those things are improved, but the comfort is as good as stock? I couldn't tell if your statement was critisism or praise. Thanks.

i think an off set of like somewhere around 35..with 7" wide rims will get you close to the wheelwell edge..i've got a 40 offset on mine, and theyre a good inch or 2 in..maybe even a 32? hmm >>

32 i think will be real close, turning your car u might rub. Im trying to go 18x7.5 w/35 and im worried. but i want them to stick out.

I have an 18" by 7.5" rim with a +35 offset and say its almost perfect. If anything I would try and go for a +38 offset simply b/c I cant go as low as I want to anymore due to rubbing.

Ok highjacked again. I`m looking forward to get new rims. "Work Emotion Cr Kai"
Front:18x8,5 and rear: 18x9,5 which ET (offset) should i take 30front and rear or 37front and 38 at the rear????

Hello again has anyone got an idea. Please answer.

Joerg

Depends on what size rim, what size tire...its not an exact answer.

I have 215/35/18s...pretty close.

I was looking to get 235/35 R18 tires on 18x8,5 Wheels in the front and 18x9,5 at the rear. I have no clou what would fit: 30front/30rear offset or 37front 38rear offset? Or should i ask if they can produce a special 35front and 35rear offset???

The car is a ST205 Gt Four. >>

Thanks
