Default ok with this offset? Reordering my wheel HELP and wheel size

OK so i ordered my wheels about a month ago from a local shop. but they never ordered it. so i plan on reordering them . just here to double check on the offset. im goin to have them cutsom order the offset for me....im think 16x7 offset of 20 for the fronts and 16x7 offset 12 in the rear. does that sound correct. or should i just get both in a 20 offset?


JUST ADDED: Will a 16x8 fit in the rear? with out spacer shim so on. if so what offset will i need with that?

Yes, you'll be fine. I'm running +20 on 16x7s without any problems and I'm lowered, too.

That's the size that I have.... you'll be fine w/o spacers. I have OTG 10mms in the back and I rub a little, but without the shims or spacers no prob.

Here's what they fit like with my setup (2" drop)

bunp because you want more opinions?

I'd say +20 on a 7 would be great all around, especially with OTG in back, but the staggered fitment you describe in your first post would work great too. just makes rotation more difficult.

haha yeah something like that. i had edited the 1st post. I had placed and order for +20 all around. but everyone seems to be putting spacers on and i would rather not use spacers. so i just wanted to make sure that if i got a lower offset in the rear and made it staggered that it would be ok. and that the offsets im using is the correct offset. i would do a 10 in the rear that but they dont make it in a 10 only 12 + someone said they had a +20 with a 10mm spacer that makes it et10 and he rubs lil so if i order a ET12 gives me 2 more mm of play and maybe no rub. prob not but yeah.

the OTG are shims, not spacers, so they are a much better option. they push the rear drum assy out 10mm. good luck with the purchase, sounds like you know what you're doin.
