Wheel Offset Discussion Thread... How far can we go?

[mdxj]

I am looking at running either a 265 or 275 tire up front with a 295 or 305 rear. I am looking at Enkie NT30+M's in 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. The 9.5's come in 27,40 and 55mm offsets with the 10.5 only in 30mm. I know someone who is running 10.5's all around for the track but I dont want to do anything too extreme to my suspension right now. I am stock height but can do camber arms if needed. I know the Nismo wheels come in 19x9.5 40 for the front but will a 275 tire rub with stock suspension? I also have a feeling that the 305 rear may look odd with a 30mm offset but I am not sure.

I'm looking at getting the VarrsToen 1.1.3s. They only come in 20X10 or 20X11s. I want the wheels to look flush; what offset would I need to run if I'm lowered on the Tein S.Tech springs? (about one inch or so) I prefer not to have to purchase spacers and I will not roll the fenders.

My options are:
20x10+15
20x11+15
20x10+35
20x11+35

i run a 275 on a 20x10 +27. oem camber arm and loweredhalf an inch. so a 9.5 +27 with a 275 is the same thing. never rubbed.

Hey guys, another "will it fit" question or perhaps, "is it the same". I'm rocking
Nismo wheels with 19x9.5+40(+15mm Spacer)F and 19x10.5+23(+10mm Spacer)R;
they are equiped with RE-11 265/35/19F and 305/30/19R and right now they are
right below the fender, just exactly flush and not rubbing.

Here is my question, if I get wheels that's 19x9.5+22F and 19x10.5+12R, "will it fit"
or mainly, will i get the same results in terms of exactly flush like my nismo wheels
and not extruding the fender? And will it perhaps rub? I'm dropped on H&R springs
with SPC camber kits, close to OEM camber right now.

If it helps, I'm "thinking" of getting >insert legit forged wheels< in Matte Black on those sizes
and offsets. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

You lost me when you mentioned Varrstoen.

hey I said "thinking". But after spending a few minutes of researching,
I'm holding back. But back to the question (if it was not varrstoen), if I was to
get Volk or Works or any legit forged wheels, will that offset work?

I couldn't find wheels I like. Most I've seen so far
on that site are good looking for muscle cars.

Use the calculator to figure out what wheel/tires sizes/offsets you want.

Ah...

22x10.5 25mm

I'm going for positive offsets all around because I need more traction for my turbo

F 19 x 10 +45
R 19 x 11 +28

Question...Flush is not the primary goal but a beafy tire is. What would I need to run if I wanted a 295 Front and 305 Rear? Would it be possible with the setup mentioned above?

Note: Swift springs...camber arms in rear. Possible Koni shocks eventually. I want to run a square setup but I don't think I can get that big of a tire up front. Also, camber would need to be streetable for now until I buy a daily driver.

Why would you want to run a 295 up front? I have over 1000rwhp and I dont even run that big up front.
