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.

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??!?
