What offset?

Fri Dec 18, 2009 10:25 am

This has probably been asked a 1000 times, but the search gives somany hits it would take ages to find what i need.

Size in the front would be 15x7 and 15x7,5 (or x8) in the rear.
I don't want any archwork done and i'm aiming for a 40-30ish lowering.
What kind of offset would i be aiming for?

Somewhere around ET20 - ET25. ET24 would be stock on the front, but you might need to go lower on the back depending on what width you choose - my 7.5s are ET20 for example.

Typical offset is 13 at the front for the 8,5x17. Spacers would be recommended in this case. The 21 will surely fit at the rear, but should be brought at least to the same offset as at the front.

Depending on wheel size, fenders should be at least rolled...
