Default offset

What offset do I need for my car?
I want a deep dish on the wheels but I dont want the wheels sticking out too far.




Thanks
Steven

Default RE: offset

I think my Eagle Alloy 077's are 18 x 8" and have a 38mm offset, and 40mm will work also. That's not much of an offset, about 1 3/4" Anything much more and you'll start having geometry issues and rubbing. There's not a huge selection for these cars, but the FWD wheels are totally different than RWD wheels.

Thanks for the help. The wheels that I am looking at have a 40mm offset.
