Hey guys,

This is the first time I post something to this site but i've been reading all of the good info you guys have for a while. I have an '09 2.5AC with a Stillen facia and I'm looking into getting a wheels but I am not sure about the size.

Im thinking of getting some Axis Reverb wheels but im not sure if they would fit. They are

Size:18x8.5

Bolt pattern: 5X114.3

Offset: +15

Center Bore 73.1

They will probably be wrapped in 245/45R18.

I am not sure if the offset would work. Would I need spacers, how would it look, ect.

Any info you guys could give me would help out. Thanks.

+15 will sit just like the stock setup. You need to go +30, or +35 to have your wheels sit flush with you fenders without spacers.

dude, you have the concept of wheel offset backwards.... +15 wheels would look RIDICULOUS on your car... +15 means they will stick out about an inch or more past the fender!

Factory is +45, the lower the offset, the further out the wheel will stick! An offset of about +30 -> +35 will have you sitting flush with the fender!

Next time, use the search.. if you put in offset, tons of useful information will pop up!

I have work emotion xt-7's 18x8.5 with a +38 offset and they sit pretty close/flush with the fenders, as the doc (rjdmmfl1) pointed out.

Yeah, I run +30s now and my wheels are right at the edge. Had to though so I clear my BBK. I wouldn't go anything past that

Hey I was wondering if these wheels would fir the rear without any problems, I'm going for a more aggressive look with the low offset and also was wondering how far the wheels would poke? http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-521-Wheel ... 180663.htm

If those are too low of an offset i was also looking at these...

As stated above; they will extrude past the fender about an 1". Stick to something with a +30 to +35 offset will have you flush with the fenders.
