Getting wheels for the summer need offset help, no search helped.

Post by rlfreese »

I did a searcha nd got no answer. I am looking at getting 18x8 wheels. I just need to know what offset and tire size is going to work the best. I have tien springs and want it to look nice. here is the wheel design I am going for. I had the rs-gt wheels on my old zx2 nand they were easy to clean and very nice to look at.

The stock wheels are at +38 offset , I think. I would try to stay bewteen +35 & +42. Remember the smaller the number the farther the wheel will stick out with relation to the wheel well. So a +35 will sit out farther in the wheel well while a +42 will be more tucked in.

The ones I "HAD" were 18"x7.5" with 225/40/18 tires and had a +38 offset. Those are in the pic in my sig.
