35mm offset help
 

i have a 2005 tc and my rims were stolen, they were 18x7.5 with a 45mmoffset

im looking at new rims and i found a new pair that i like but they have a 35mm offset,

can someone please help? is this bad or good or what does it mean.

im on type s tein springs

please help

thanks

good if u have 18x8 offset 35 its perfect

well i am on ebay but it says an 18" rim with 8" depth does not fit my car?

I wouldn't trust ebay for stuff like that. They will fit. Actually they'll have a nice little stance

im on 18x8 with 37 offset and dropped on s-techs. i had 225/40 tires at first. i didnt roll my fenders and it rubbed alllll the time. i switched to 215/35 on the fronts and 215/40 on the rears. dont rub anymore. then i rolled my fenders in the rear for future plans. hehe

check these out, i really like these on my black tc, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MSR-0...item5d2cc96369

but is the offset bad? like will by wheels be bowed out or what i dont understand this offset stuff?

Okay. I can see those eBay rims are 18x7.5 +42. Stocks are 17x7.5 +45. That's not much of a difference offset wise. The smaller the number, the more "out" they will stick out. So in your case, since the eBay rims ur looking at are +42, they will be further away from the car by 3mm compared to the stock specs. That's not a big problem to be worrying about. If ur planning on slamming ur car, u will defly be tucking. It will not be flush at all. And you will have no problems rubbing on your fenders. If u have any more questions, your more than welcome to pm me.

hey i appreciate it............will u check these out? so since these are 35mm they will be a little more flush with my fender? i just can not afford any scraping so im nervous, plus i dont want to buy new rims and tires and find out they scrape cause this is my daily driver

check that thread out. maybe you can see some info that will help you there.

a while ago, i had some konig runways that were 18x8 +35. they had 225/40 r18 on them. i rubbed like crazy cuz i didnt roll my rear fenders. especially on hard turns like u-turns and going up/down driveways. i didnt rub at all in the front tho. i dont have any pics of those on my car tho.

i ended up selling those konigs and got some tenzo type m. these were 18x8 +37. so since these are +37, that means they go in towards the car by 2mm compaired to the konigs since those were +35. they came with 225/40 tires on them again. these are the pics of them at the time with those tires.

so now, i have new tires. 215/35 r18 in the fronts and 215/40 r18 in the rears. no more rubbing problem at all. but i rolled my rears cuz im planning on going lower sometime next month. so anyways, it all depends on what size tire you wanna run.

and to answer your question, yes. since they are 35 offset, they will be somewat "flush" with your fender. well, at least compared to stock specs. but not completely "hellaflush". ull need some spacers if u wanna go that route. and yeah, i totally understand the whole not affording to scrape. my car is my daily also. but i ended up not caring as much anymore. which is why im swapping to coilovers soon.

thanks again bro i like the pics, i dont even care to be flush i just dont wanna scrape. so i will probably stay away from under 40 offset. i appreciate it!
