richard cash Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 On a 9.5" wide rim what would be the best offset to have the wheel fit completly flush with the arch? just wondering whether i should get an offset close to a GTR (et30) to get it fitting nicely thanks in advance rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Too many variables, the design of the wheel etc. The stock wheel is +50 offset so that may give you an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard cash Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 i didnt think the design if the wheel should make a difference. Only perhaps to whether it would clear UK spec brakes. I thought the whole point on the offset is to determine where the wheel would sit with regards to the hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 If you know the offset and width of your current wheels you can work out desired offset here http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously lowering the offset will bring the wheel out away from the hub. I've got 19's on the rear, 9.5" wide , 275/30 tyres with a 37mm offset and they sit just nice relative to the arch.
