Does anyone know of a site with a visual explanation of offset and rim size?

When I pick up my new rims I'm trying to make sure they're flush with the side of the car after the suspension is on. The stock 17 inch wheels use a 45 mm offset. I think they're 7.5" wide? (am i correct??)

I want to get 20mm farther to the outside of the car. I'm guessing a 8" wide rim with (0.5" farther out.. 12.7 mm) with 35 mm offset would be 22.7 mm.. Is this right? or am I backwards?

thanks in advance to anyone with some knowledge :)

8"with 35mm offset it perfect, as flush as you can get without having to roll the fenders, etc, which you probably do not want to do.

I have 17x8's with 35mm, 235/40/17 Hankook R-S2's and it looks great lowered:)

The same thing will apply with 18x8, 19x8, etc, as long as you do not try to use to wide a tire, 235 is the max I would even condsider on an 8" wide wheel.

thanks

hope that satisfies you :D

lol the photos aren't close up enough and you have your wheel turned in all of them. but looks good from what i can tell.

I was rocking a set of 18in volk gtn's with 35mm offset 8.5in rim and perfectly flush with the fenders..my car is not to low it just has a set of TRD lowering springs on it but the fittment of the wheels was perfect..

why did you get rid of the volks??!?
