Rim Offset Question

[SouRce4]

I am going to be purchasing rims with the week and am wondering if anyone can provide me with some pictures and exact offsets to get what i want.what is the perfect offset so that the tire and rim will be flush with the fender on an...

18"x8"
18"x8.5"
18"x9"

if anyone has pictures please do provide.

Flush? C'mon poke em.

This is a 245/40-17 on a 17x8 et35 with no spacers. A 245/35-18 on an 18x8 or 18x8.5 should be about the same.


235/45-17 on the same size wheels. They are about 1/2" taller which makes fitment more difficult but the 235 seems to fit well without fender modifications. Different manufacturers will have the same size tire but it may be wider or narrower.


This is one of the 245/40-17 Yokohama Guardex with a 225/50-16 Sumitomo HTR 50Z. Even though the 245 is numerically nearly an inch wider the difference is pretty marginal. I doubt that I could fit a 245 Sumi in there.
