What Offset On Wheels?

[jason_l]

I'm just about to order a set of advan tc II's for my lexus is200 in 18 inch i just need to know what offset will best fit the car!

they come in 25, 31 or 37!

any help would be much appreciated!

thanks!

minimum would be 40mm

standard would be 45mm

depends on the width you are going for

[Fidgits]

yeah, if your plan on lowering, go 42-45 to avoid rubbing

[jason_l]

they are 8.5, but the maximum offset is 37! :duh:

Can probably get some of the mounting face machined off to increase the offset.

Might run in to problems with clearance on brakes though ...

Oh, and offset on standard wheels is 50 not 45 (common misconception).

Or at least that's what's stamped on the backface of all the ones i've had.

[jason_l]

so a 37 offset will not fit directly onto the car (will rub on brakes?).

no! a 37mm offset will stick out from the car and rub the bodywork

less off set means away from car

more offset means towards the car

i run a 35mm offset, with no troubles at all. tyre choice is critical in this though, but im also running 8" wide rims at 18" diameter

so a 37 offset will not rub on the brakes! but on the bodywork, what if i get the arch's rolled????

I have 18 x 8 +37 on the front - fits fine (225 x 40 x 18). 18 x 8.5 +41 on the rear (245 x 40 x 18). The front is fine, the rear rubs slightly, rolling the rear arches will fix the back.

Lower offset will stick out more so you will rub arches at some point - this is easier to fix that rubbing on the suspension, brakes etc...

When trying wheels on my car the garage had 19 x 10 +55 on the back, this clears the arch without tyres but would have needed a bit of work with fat tyres on. My car is lowered although not sure how much, its about half of maximum drop on HKS Hiper Dampers.

thanks!

so they should go on the back with minimal problems!

but will i be able to get them on the front, as they don't have 8's only 8.5's.

i dont care if they rub on the arch's cause as you said that can be fixed!!! as long as they don't rub the brakes im cool!

thanks all for your help!!!!

8.5 +37 on front I'm not so sure. This post on is300.net has some useful info and pics... 19 x 8.5 +45 front, 19 x 9.5 +45 rear. With +37 you'll be 8mm further out than the IS in these pics....

Compared to standard http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html, standard is 7 +45mm, 8.5 +37mm. Over current settings this will be 11mm less clearance on inside (fine), 27mm less on outside - not so sure about this, 27mm is a lot on the front.

I have 18x 8.5 on 35 offset. on front and back.

rolling on Toyo Proxes T1-S 225/40ZR18 all round.

Car lowered 35mm+ albeit on adjustable coilovers.

I had slight rubbing on the front until I had the arches rolled.

Now, no problems whatsoever.

should be able to get them to fit i guess! :duh:

i'm getting them at such a good price that i can probably sell them on for the same price if they don't fit!

thanks all!
