I keep asking about offset on wheels, and I thought i understood, but now I looked at the two sets of rims i'm debating between (planning to buy this week), and I dont remember, I confused my self all up. I forget what stock offset is. But the one set of wheels, the offset says +40 and the other says +45. Which one will look better? I want them to stick out further then stock if thats possible, so what would be the offset i'm looking for? Thanks guys.

 

well i know the stock offset is 45 but knowing which offset makes the wheels stick out further still confuses me too

 

the lower the offset, the further the wheels will stick out

wheel width will effect what offset you choose as well.

 

Okay so the 40 will stick out more then the 45. sounds good to me. hehe

 

yes. but also make sure that the wheel width is the same or more than stock. ie if the stock wheels are 17x7. make sure the rims ur gonna buy are 17x7 or 17x7.5 or so on.

 

But a 40mm offset won't stick out far at all. Will you even notice it?

 

uhh maybe, if your lowered.

 

.......35 may rub depending on drop.......seems 38-42 seems to be the most comman with 7.5-8 inch wide rims.......I am going with 40s on my new rims to eliminate any problems rubbing.

 

most common width/offset combo is 7.5 with a +42 offset...

 

Well the rims that I will be getting have a 40 offset and I am lowered on TRD springs.

 

You should be fine......that is like right in the middle and TRD drop is fairly high still as is my Htech drop.....18s only raise the overall tire height just so slightly like a 1/4 inch into the well.....

 

Im planning on putting 17x7 on stock suspenion right now, with 40 offset. any good?

 

im pretty sure that'll work but why 17x7 thats the same as the stock rims unless you go 17x8 or 17x7.5 that'll look better

 

17's are functional as far as diameter, but i'd at least go wider...

 

That's what I have. It looked OK on the stock suspension. Love it with my Hotchkis drop.
Falken Circuit Specs. 17x7 +40mm offset.

Size of the tire also effects the way it looks. I have 225/45/17 Nittos on mine.

 

the lower the offsets, the more it sticks out.

wider wheels also make them stick out more.

 

how about 18x8with a 35mm offset? would that make the rim/tire stick enough to match the fender line evenly?

 

those wheels look factory wit lip tho'
