#89391, "What offset to run on wheels"




          

I found some wheels I am going to get but ran into a bit of a problem. What offset can we run? I know the stock wheels have a 46mm offset but my options are a 33mm, 38mm and a 48mm. What can I get away with without having problems from clearance of the control arms and suspension. I am planning on running a set of 5Zigen GN+ Pro Racers 18x8.5 (or 7.5, not sure on that). TIA

all the after market distributers I've used recommend 38mm-42mm offset for 17x7-18x8.5 so i recommend the 38mm offset. it should give you that nice clean flush just tucking look.

38mm will do ya fine, 33mm may give you some problems.

Agreed... 38mm and I wouldn't reccomend anything less. This post should have been in handling and suspension though. Yes wheels are exterior but they fall mainly under the other. Just a heads up...

So now at 44 what the hell do I do?
