rim offset

[talontsiawd]

The stock offset is +50mm, so the closer to that you can get, the better.

That's not necessarily true. It all depends on the look you want. That's why you see some cars with 16's and it looks stockish but you see other cars with 16's and it will look very agressive. Offset is one of the most important things for the way a particular rim will look on your car. Obviously an overly aggesive ofset can look really bad but so can and underly aggressive offset.

id get a +42 or +44 offset. perfect look. +40 would be pushing it, cuz i think by then they might be sticking out of the fender. like i said, i wouldnt go lower then +42.

Google is your friend- http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=101. It's basically how far a wheel sticks out or sticks in for a really basic explanation.

i have all that, except the 18 part, i have 17s. you can look at my sig pic to see. i like it....i do rub in the back if i hit a bump hard enough, but i also have a small amount of camber in the rear too, so that helps in my tires avoiding my fenders, haha. i like the +42 offset cuz its pretty much level with the fender, it looks good.

so the top of the rear wheels are leaning in? and u still don't need a camber kit? is that bad? and plus my tire size is 225...yours probably 215 huh?
