    Question offset question for wheel gurus

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I’m looking to order a set of 18x8" wheels, what offset would put them perfectly flush with the fenders? I looked around and I think et 35 would work, but I am not positive on this, so anyone who knows please enlighten me!

    Re: offset question for wheel gurus

    How flush do you want them? If you want them literally like at edge of the fender borderline poke, I would say without a doubt below 30, somewhere around 25 possibly?

    Go with et35, install lug studs, and tune the look with spacers.

    Re: offset question for wheel gurus

    I just ordered the wheels, I will be doing the fine tuning like you also suggested. I'd rather have to push it out a little than not be able to push it in...

    yeah 35 would be a safe offset to work off of.

    Re: offset question for wheel gurus

    i've got 32 and the front is flush but the back is not... i might need spacers at the back. does that make sense?
