Question about offset
Hey guys, I don't know much about rims and offset. I'm looking to buy a set of g-games off somebody i know, they're 19x8 with an offset of +48, he has 235/35/19 tires on them. How would that fit on our 8's? Or would I rub or have my wheels sticking out or something? any replies would be appreciated... thanks in advance! anybody know what the offset on the our stock rims is?

It's gonna look SUNK and the tire is one size too small.
Ideally go with a 245/35/19
I'd strongly suggest something like 19x8.5 +35 offset for proper appearance.

What Rishie said. I believe the stock wheels are 18x8 +50? These wheels will only sit 2mm further out... I don't think it's doing to look very good at all. They will definitely fit, but they won't look too good.

endless, what do you mean by sunk?? my car is already lowered on s-techs with the stock wheels right now, it doesn't look bad imo. by sunk, do you mean it doesn't line up with the fender, and is further inside? show a pic if you can

It will technically sit in virtually the same position as your existing stock setup. The only difference is:
1. You now have a shorter tire
2. When increasing the diameter of the wheel it will create an optical of illusion of sorts and give the appearance of being more "sunk further into the wheel well" than the stock 18" setup.
3. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I wouldn't do it on my car, even if it was a great deal. There are dozens of great deals out there for better fitting aftermarket wheels.
