      15x8.... what offset?

      There is tons of options for wheels in a 15x8 but most seem to be +25 offset. Stock is 45 On a 5.5" wheel, so I'm afraid the wheel will be to close to the suspension. However this site says I can use a 7.0 with an offset of 40, meaning the +25 will work. Suggestions?

      i have a 15x8 with a +25 mm offset. the offset change leave the inside of the rim about the same with the outside of the rim sticking out with the extra width..

      punch in your stuff here: willtheyfit.com i liked the old interface more. but the new version still has the visual that helps explain the number they show you.

      uh... not sure mine would help you if i had one, my 1/4 panel is pulled out almost 2-3" to fit my 9" wide 15mm offset wheels with my ride height.




      this is a decent idea of a 15x7 with a 10 mm offset on the rear 35 front. Thats with a 195/45r15 all around. next to stock.. so you can punch both into the calculator and see the number, I was pulled for that fitment though.

      current set up: best picture i have



      this is with a 15x9 rear with a 15mm offset rear, the 195/50r15 is ideal size but i had to recently get another tire size in a pinch.. the front is a 15x8 with a 25mm offset. the tire I am using to get the outer edge of the tire in the same spot as my old set up is a 165/45r15. However with a 1/2" raise I would be able to get a 195/45r15 in there.

      the shading in this one is a little better, again though, the 15x7 with a 10mm offset.

      thanks man, that is helpful. i figured i would need to run my fronts a little higher, although im only gonna have 7.1mm more poke due to the 25mm spacers i had on my old wheels
