#29334, "RE: 18 x 7.5" +33 offset? did lots of searching." In response to In response to 4 May-17-06 05:10 PM by willmayo
Originally posted by FlyinEsi Nobody has mentioned this, but my rims were a +42 offset as well, and I think the stock rims are approx +40. You wouldn't want to go much less than that with a wider tire because you would be getting close to hitting the control arms, is that correct or am I understanding offset incorrectly?
Stock I believe is +46 (someone correct me if I'm wrong). The lower you go, the farther from the hub you're spacing the wheel, and vice versa. i'm going 13mm lower than stock, which would make the wheel/tire stick out another 13mm (~1/2") than it does stock if it were the same width rim. Add in the extra inch of wheel and tire (1/2" on the inside, 1/2" on the outside), and i'm sticking out an inch from where i am now.
