m_450 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I am looking to buy a set of rims for my subaru legacy. I don't really know how the offset works even after reading the guide. So can someone please help me out. will this work with my car OZ superleggera gunmetal 18x8 5x100 bolt pattern, offset 35 Pirelli P7000 supersport all-season ultra performance tire 215/35/18 70% tire tread left how will it look like with 35 offset or 41. Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr. pepper Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 35 offset is really low for our cars, i wouldn't advise buying these rims, and if you're going with an 18x8, get wider tires, 235/35/18 would be more of an appropriate size i think. so you won't mess with your speedo reading.

tantal Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 +1 Offset too low. Oh, yea, READ THE XENONK STICKY! sorry for the shout, but all the info you want is in there, in detail. Oh, yeah, and those tires, um, SUCK. =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockerGT Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 You'd want 48 offset for 18x8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You 1) pick your rim diameter 2) pick your rim width 3) look up the FAQ and see the offset specs I listed.. if the rim you are looking at has an offset that is NOT specified in the FAQ, then it wont work. offsets are dependent to the width of the rim. if you look at a rim, offset is talking about how "deep" or "shallow" the rim mounts based to the center line of the rim, a "0" offset means that the mounting point of the rim is the center of the rim: http://www.tireguides.com/images/offset.jpg http://www.raceandroad.com/images/ns-offsetexplained.jpg Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
