I need some basic wheel offset info from the pros please! thank you!!!

What is the correct offset for a s13? I am looking at a set of wheels that is 16X8 or 15x8 both are +15... will they stick out?

Basicly,,, for the offset gurus, What offset would i need for:15x715x816x8

...in order to not stick out past the fenders at all (like a lowrider) on my 1990 240sx fastback. I just want flush or slightly inside the fenders with flush tires.... I have a 2.5" drop.

helping me with this will help me find what wheels i need to buy, cause mine are bent they were sold to me bent

thank you very much!

No, they should be just fine and have good fitment.

Offset is dependent on the width of the wheel, not the diameter. So a 16x8 +15 will fit the same as a 15x8 +15. People fit __x 8 +0 wheels, and they stick out a little bit, so 15mm more sunken in than that should be about perfect (though fitment is all subjective anyway).

wow thanks man! I really don't know jack about wheel offsets, so this was a great help! I have to depend on others to get the right fitment.

basic starting point would be x7 +0, x8 +15

Don't bump 3 year old threads like this anymore... Most ppl use 205/50/16's for that setup.
