Offsets

[Henz]

Hey guys,

I've decided on these wheels for my BA T. Iv settled on 18s for a number a reasons, mainly tire choice for the street though.

Work CR Kai-Work Metal Bright Finish

Can someone tell me what offset I will need front and rear (I know nothing about - & + offsets)

They come in

Fronts 18 X 8.5 - $525 per wheel (5-114.3 +30, +32, +37, +38, +43)

Rears 18 X 9.5 - $550 per wheel (5-114.3 +12, +20, +30, +38)

And one more thing, is there an offset that will get this look (Not as extreme as this pic though!!)

Cheers Henz

Also front and rear guards are already rolled

Wheres Erko?

I'd go +32 front +30 rear, howver I believe Erko run the 8.5/9.5s +30 front and back.

To get it looking like the pic u provided I would hazard a guess at a +10 to +20 offset.

[Henz]

So +32 front and +20 rears will be the best?

Erko gave me this advice a while back:

18x8.5 +30 if you want to run same all round

With staggered 9.5 rear use +38 offset

edit : note this will clear brembos just need to be careful when putting on balancing weights. a +25 offset is also avail in 8.5 and a +20 in 9.5

sorry I missed this one boys

I believe the CR KAI also comes in a 18x8.5 +25..that in combo with a +30 9.5 rear would be pretty sweet for a daily driven car. I have +30 front and +38 rear so doesnt have the fat stance you are looking for.

really though for the tough stance I would probably look at 9.5+20 FRONT and REAR. However I cant recommend this but its something I would look at personally. front guards might be at the limit for tweaking

for my next set of wheels I am going to try and run 9.5 front and 10.5 rear and will be doing a lot of measuring / guard tweaking so I can run some fairly serious offset.
