Wheel size/offset?

nizzan4u2nv

if you have a 40 offset, you will have an effective offset of approximately 15mm with a 1in spacer.

1 in = 25mm (approx)

40mm - 25mm = 15mm

So I should be looking for wheels with around +40 offset?

It all depends on the look youre trying to achieve. In most cases id say no.

Well I’m going for a flush, concave look. The spacers already make it almost completely flush. Just want the wheel wells filled with tire and the wheels to dip inwards

That is going to require research on your part. Concavity is dependent on wheel design. Go through the wheel fitment threads, find something you like and mimic it.

First, 90% of the setups on those threads are not using spacers. With a properly sized wheel/tire setup they are unnecessary.

Second, if you're going for a "flush, concave look" the stock wheels aren't going to cut it regardless of how much you space them out. You'll only have it flush, at best. Also, I'm not sure why you're asking how the spacers are going to affect the offset. They will do the same thing on any setup you use similar to what they are doing on your current setup: lower it. However, if you did not know that (raising vs lowering the offset) then my apologies and now you know.

Finally, when you say "wheel wells filled with tire" do you mean you want a meaty tire setup, or do you want the tires to be stretched? Also, are you trying to stay with 18s or go up in size to a 19 or 20 (or some combination)? Do you want a staggered front/rear setup or do you plan to run a square setup? I do know that a 245/275 tire setup is pretty weak for these vehicles and isn't really going to fill out the wheel wells unless you're running an aggressive offset wheel.

By "wheels dip inwards" I'm going to assume you mean having negative camber? This has to do with suspension setup. You didn't mention if your car is lowered or not, and if so, by what method?


This. As you can see above, I'm just shooting in the dark. I'd go through those threads (again) and find one you want and mimic it as said by nizzan4u2nv. If you find one and the specs aren't listed, I'd post a picture of the one in question and ask if anyone knows the specs in one of the wheel fitment threads.

I dont want to keep the stock wheels, I want new wheels. i will be sticking with 18s. & i mean meaty tire set up.
Okay let me rephrase, I know what range offset is best, but not with spacers. And I dont wan’t to have to worry about any rubbing or clearing the breaks or anything. So I’m really just trying to figure out what the spacers affect in terms of wheel offset. Maybe I should just ditch them if new wheels & tires will fill out the wheel well?
No I’m not talking about camber I just meant a concave wheel.
