I want some 16x8s for my car.. would most likely be lowered.. what offset should I look for?

[WannabeGT4]

40mm should fit just fine.

[devilsden97]

i have 17x8 with a 32 mm offset and they rock

edit: didnt answer your question, id go with 32or 35mm offset

But how low are you? 32mm would probably be just fine on a car if it's not too low and not running too wide of a tire, but if you are really low and want to ride on comfortable tires my bet is on the 40mm offset.

im on sportline springs....and on 225/45/17 tires Falken 512 ziex's to be exact

Those will fit a 7.5" rim fine. If you are going to go for an 8" rim, I would look for a slightly larger tire if traction is an issue.

[jdg371]

So 8in is too wide for 225/50s? what size tires would be good for 16x8 245/40?

No it's not. For 225/50s you can use 6.0 - 8.0 rims

see topic here ("recommended combinations rim and tire widths" table) for more info

ok, so i'm totally retarded when it comes to rims and offsets. think i've got a 17" x 7.5 rim, how wide spacer will i need to make the wheel flush with the body?

edit: the car is lowered

What is the offset of your current wheels?

[Predator]

i think it's 35

I am going to upgrade to these Konig's
http://buywheelstoday.com/products/?id=2749

which ones should i get the 18' 7.5 with 45 offset or 8 with 40

i dont know how to roll fenders, and would rather just bolt these on, does anyone suggest one over the other, will i rub the wheel arch or anything?

some help would be greatly appreciated.

and all that offset stuff confused me, i would like to get the rim flush, as a bolt on (no spacers or w/e), and my car is lowered.

Thanks!

anyone?

[bufferdan]

18x8 +40 will be fine...

[Griff]

is the '...' , mean anything like...probbally? or you confident, id hate to screw up a 1000$

and i guess ill run 225's on 8?

[Jdog1385]

ok so im installing 15mm spacers and id like a 17x8 wheel...what offset should i be looking at? my car is also lowered about 1.2"

[WannabeGT4]

40mm. No spacer.

[Jdog1385]

40mm. No spacer.

ok, i figured i should have never bought the spacers. i can only seem to find 17x8 w/ a 35mm offset, i dont think it should be a problem though because my car is lowered on H&R springs that drop it about 1-1.2" I am also going for the same overall diameter. Correct me if im wrong. this topic rocks by the way, thanks man.

Just had a blow out so need some help.

I took the alloy of & wondered if it is the correct offset etc. read through the post but im still confused.
I'm running a 215/35/18 7.5j 48 offset according to numbers on the inside of the rim i assume are offset etc.

thanks

some guy is selling his 7.5", + 45mm, 225/45/17 which I'm guessing won't be too well for a stock suspension celica since the off set is too high. Am I right?
