i have a few more questions:
i've been looking at 17" wheels. can i run a 17x10 without rolling, or do i need a 17x9.5? what would the optimal tire size be for this? can i use a 275/40/17 or 285/40/17 (for the 10")...
or should i go with a 35?
also, what spring/shock combo would lower this setup enough to look nice and handle well?

17x10 +35 will fit fine, how low are you?

i really not knowledgable in offsets what would you recommend?
#955
At this offset, I had to chamber the fronts a tiny bit. The rears were perfectly fine. No fender roll needed. The fronts look really aggressive, because they "almost" stick out of the wheel wells. I would have to chamber the front wheels a little more if I were to lower the car.
I think think the set up you mentioned would look great, and you can still lower your car (based on my own wheels). Although I might suggest going with 43 Offset all around, and 10" wide front wheels and back wheels. Your car has lots of room in the front wheel wells.
I am not an authority, so do get a second opinion
Cheers!

I have 19x9.5 [35 Offset] in the rear and a 19x9 [29 Offset] in the front. [265 all around]

I have to admit, that the numbers get a little dizzying when you read through all the posts. I get rim sizes, and tires, but the offset is throwing me off. And judging from all the posts im assuming this is an important number, so can someone enlighten me? Because the last car I had i put rims on but this number never came into issue... help anyone?

So just add or subtract to see where the wheel will lay, make sense?

think of it this way
increasing the number will push the wheels towards the suspension.
a lower number will pull it toward the fender (or even more outward).
a negative offset will stick out much more than a positive offset.

Hi guys, some advice please..
Advan RZ
18x8 + 37 front
18x9 + 25 rear
Clad with 235/40 front and 265/35 rear.
Will the above setup flush nicely? I dun mind a little camber and fender roll, but I'd like the really flushed look, bordering on aggressiveness :D
p/s: I'm lowered till about half an inch front and rear on cuscos.

I think I'm getting it. I guess if I was going to buy rims, I'd want a lighter rim than stock. About the same size as stock. I don't want to do any modification to the suspension or anything. That's possible right just to get a lighter rim?

You'll have to roll the fenders. I think I'll like em.

Offset is the position of the center hub on the wheel with respect to the entire rim. A zero offset means the hub positioned at the center of the rim.
A positive offset means that the hub is moved that many millimeters further toward the outside. A negative offset means that the hub is that many millimeters further in on the rim.
I think we can stop talking about offset now. Its just going to keep confusing people.
